Collaborate Disseminate
Over on ScienceDaily we learn that an international team of scientists have turned a common semiconductor germanium into a superconductor. Researchers have been able to make the semiconductor germanium superconductive …read more Continue reading Germanium Semiconductor Made Superconductor by Gallium Doping
Graphene always sounds exciting, although we aren’t sure what we want to do with it. One of the most promising features of the monolayer carbon structure is that under the …read more Continue reading Who’d Have Guessed? Graphene is Strange!
MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely friction-free. The breakthrough could lead to better superconductor materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Particle phy… Continue reading Superconductivity breakthrough: ‘Edge state’ atoms flow friction-free

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous materials but still require …read more Continue reading Ask Hackaday: What If You Did Have a Room Temperature Superconductor?
Remember that time when the entire physics community dropped what it was doing to replicate the extraordinary claim that a room-temperature semiconductor had been discovered? We sure do, and if …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: August 13, 2023
Every so often, along comes a story which, like [Fox Mulder] with his unexplained phenomena, we want to believe. EM drives and cold fusion for example would be the coolest …read more Continue reading LK-99: Diamagnetc Semiconductor, Not Superconductor?
Want a flying skateboard? Your own personal home fusion reactor? A wearable MRI scanner you can buy online? If a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconducting material really has been found, that is just the tip of the technological iceberg.Contin… Continue reading Get ready for the age of the superconductor (maybe)
To have been alive over the last five decades is to have seen superconductors progress from only possible at near-absolute-zero temperatures, to around the temperature of liquid nitrogen in the …read more Continue reading “Room Temperature Superconductor” LK-99, Just Maybe It Could Be Real
Attempts to make a viable nuclear fusion reactor have on the whole been the domain of megabucks projects supported by countries or groups of countries, such as the European JET …read more Continue reading Superconducting Tape Leads To A Smaller Tokamak
