Quantum Computer science legend, Dr John Preskill, just delivered a Q2B Quantum computer 2023 keynote talk on the state of Quantum Error correction with quantum computers. Preskill reported that Rydberg Atom and movable atom approaches are making the fastest progress to quantum error correction. There is a Harvard/MIT paper being released today that describes some …
Chinese researchers presented a pre-print paper in August that clainmed that cuprous sulfide (Cu2S) contamination explained effects from the bulk form of the Korean LK99 superconductor work. This same research was reported by Nextbigfuture and now it has passed peer review and has been published in the journal Matter. The Chinese Academy of Sciences press …
The D’Onghia magnetic shielding crew hat, or CREW HaT, is a system that uses electromagnetic coils to deflect cosmic radiation from astronauts. The system consists of: A ring of electrical coils positioned on arms roughly 5 meters from the spacecraft’s main body A Halbach Torus, a circular array of magnets that creates a stronger field …
Researchers report that a material (hexagonal HP-BaCoO3) made under high-pressure (6 GPa, 1200 °C) and was tested at ambient-pressure. The material (with a 2H crystal structure) has a short intrachain Co–Co distance of about 2.07 Å. The magnetization investigation revealed robust diamagnetic behavior below approximately 130 K when the material was exposed to weak applied …
The Department of Energy (DOE) is making a $10 million investment in three projects to develop novel technologies to manufacture high-performance superconducting tapes in the United States. Superconductivity can transmit energy with almost zero wasted electricity. UH’s Selva Research Group received $2 million for a three-year project, titled “Low-Cost, High-Rate Fabrication of High-Performance, Uniform, Long …
The US Office of Naval Research has provided $100,000 in funding for LK99 room temperature ambient pressure superconducting research at Chapman University. Armen Gulian. professor of physics, Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University was given the funding. Development of Discrete Elements for Superconducting Electronics (Including SQUIDs) for Room-temperature Operation Enabled by LK99 …
Computational physicists have a new paper that says if we made better LK99 samples with mostly high-symmetry phase then it would make the claimed room-temperature superconductors at ambient pressure. All the experimental attempts to replicate LK99 room temperature superconductors have not worked. However, the attempts at replication have been for bulk samples of copper doped …
Chinese researchers have proposed a theory for understanding the LK99 superconductor. This paper assumes the south Korean LK99 claims are correct for critical temperature and critical current. The conventional superconducting mechanisms and theories (BCS and BR-BCS) used to understand other superconductors would not explain LK99. LK99 has the apparent contradiction between an extremely high critical …
Computational theorists believe that the LK99 structure is promising and have discovered ways to improve LK99’s structure. The researchers think it is essential to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between the LK-99 structure and properties, which could further open up new avenues for even high-temperature superconductivity (HTS). LK-99 was reported to have Tc …
Hyun Tak Kim and other members of the original korean LK99 room temperature superconducting team should have an American Institute of Physics Materials journal paper published in about 3 to 5 weeks. They submitted a version and have been asked to make revisions. The key information that I would like to see is verified or …
Professor Young-Wan Kwon is one of the original Korean LK99 research team. A team from Korea University led by Lee Sukbae (이석배) and Kim Ji-Hoon (김지훈) began studying this material as a potential superconductor starting in 1999. In July 2023, they published preprints claiming that it acts as a room-temperature superconductor at temperatures of up …
