Room temperature superconductivity evidence with graphene in contact with alkanes

Arxiv – Observation of the Meissner effect at room temperature in single-layer graphene brought into contact with alkanes

There are claims of synthesis of a room temperature superconductor. However, these claims have not been officially accepted by scientific communities. Currently, the highest transition temperature (Tc) recognized in scientific articles is 135 K at 1 atm of Hg-Ba-Ca-Cu-O system which is a copper oxide superconductor. We packed graphite flakes into a ring-shaped polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube and further injected heptane or octane. Then we generated circulating current in this ring tube by electromagnetic induction and showed that this circulating current continues to flow continuously at room temperature for 50 days. This experiment suggests that bringing alkane into contact with graphite may result in a material with zero resistance at room temperature. In addition, we showed by means of AC resistance measurements using the two-terminal method that the resistances of graphite fibers brought into contact with various alkanes suddenly change at specific critical temperatures between 363 and 504 K. In this study, we show that after a magnetic field is applied to a single-layer graphene at room temperature, alkane is brought into contact with the single-layer graphene, then the graphene excludes the magnetic field immediately. This phenomenon demonstrates that the alkane-wetted single-layer graphene shows Meissner effect at room temperature.

Furthermore, we applied a magnetic field perpendicularly to the annular single-layer graphene brought into contact with n-hexane and immediately removed the magnetic field. After that we observed that a constant magnetic field generates from this annular graphene for some time. In conclusion, the single-layer graphene brought into contact with alkane shows Meissner effect at room temperature, which provides definitive evidence for room temperature superconductivity.

  1. I remember something very similar being reported a while back. The article dates from january, so maybe it’s the same one. It would be very interesting if this is confirmed, but so far this abstract doesn’t sound like they were trying to confirm someone else’s previous work.

  3. I saw no sign of that so far. But I can’t even edit my comments for sure. Which is another basic feature missing.

  4. Wow. This commenting system doesn’t even linkify URLs. And there are zero formatting features. This looks like the worst commenting system yet… All in all Disqus was the best.

  7. So basically, graphene is magic? In the summary it mentioned they mixed octane with compacted flakes so there must have been a surface topology where all flake surfaces contact another flake. No mention of possible limits, though I suppose that is for future experimentation.

  8. No long-format posts? How will I read @goatguy comments now? Ideally we’d have full authoring capabilities with tables and equation editor. 🙂

  9. I atually liked SolidOpinion, and it’s use of points as currency to upvote/downvote people. It was just soooooooo +slow+…

  13. Anyone every read Larry Niven’s Ringworld? A massive ring about a star was built by an advanced race with science many millennia in advance of our own. The main technology that made their entire civilization possible? As I recall, it was room temperature superconductors.

  15. In the Orion’s Arm Universe Project, ringworlds are made possible by magmatter, matter made up of magnetic monopoles.

  19. Yar, Niven also had a lot of stories featuring magnetic monopole miners out in the asteroid belt. It’s a pity they don’t seem to be showing up in this here universe.
