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
Silicon has reigned supreme in electronics for the better part of a century, and now a new version might help extend its use into the future. Engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have discovered a brand new form of the material called Q-… Continue reading Meet Q-silicon, a new magnetic material for spintronic quantum computers
Scientists at the University of Rochester claim to have created a material that acts as a superconductor at room temperature and lower pressures than ever before. If confirmed, this “reddmatter,” as they call it, could mark a major breakthrough.Continu… Continue reading “Reddmatter” shows evidence of room temperature superconductivity
A TU Delft team has demonstrated a one-way superconductor that gives zero resistance in one direction, but blocks current completely in the other. The discovery, long thought impossible, heralds a 400x leap in computing speed and huge energy savings.Co… Continue reading One-way superconducting diode has massive implications for electronics
Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up and move through the material without resistance. But there may be more to the story than we thought, as scientists in Germany have now discovered that electrons can also group together into fa… Continue reading “Electron family” state of matter hints at new type of superconductivity
