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.
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.

This comment system is a disaster.
I saw no sign of that so far. But I can’t even edit my comments for sure. Which is another basic feature missing.
It’s worse than that: It treats efforts to put links in your comment as evidence that it’s spam.
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.
There were multiple separate reports before of room temperature superconductivity: https://staging-nextbigfuture.kinsta.com/2013/11/joe-eck-has-superconductor-at-european.html https://staging-nextbigfuture.kinsta.com/2013/12/at-edges-stanene-is-like-room.html Nothing became of them. So I’m doubtful about this too.

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.
No editing of posts?
I guess we have a point system here too – I’m getting +10 per post.
No long-format posts? How will I read @goatguy comments now? Ideally we’d have full authoring capabilities with tables and equation editor. 🙂
I atually liked SolidOpinion, and it’s use of points as currency to upvote/downvote people. It was just soooooooo +slow+…
My Gravity Modification Patent US8901943 discusses “Non-Bulk” superconduction in aromatic molecules. While graphene is highly interesting…basic benzene had unusual properties ..Ron Kita, Chiralex https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.193001

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.
Let me know when I have enough points to buy a new car.

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

Room temperature to me means actual room temperature.

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.
