Here's an attempt at a summary in a form of a blogpost, AI's tend to … lose detail but I've tried to work around this, cannot verify 100% since I don't speak Chinese Attempting to Reproduce the Room Temperature Superconductor This highly anticipated experiment has generated… — Alex Volkov – targum.video (@altryne) July 31, 2023 …
Huanzhong Univesity and Iris Alexander claim to have replicated and seen some Meissner effect. Berkeley Lab and Shengyang lab have separate theory papers with simulation on how and why LK99 and variants will work. There are at least a dozen publicly announced or rumored replication efforts. BREAKING UPDATES: Two theoretical papers from national labs support …
Hyun-Tak Kim wrote a paper on diamagnetic shielding for high temperature superconductors in 2001. Hyun-Tak Kim is one of the six people who wrote the LK-99 room temperature superconductor paper. He is very familiar with diamagnetism. Hyun-Tak was brought in a few years ago when the Korean team knew they needed help to get it …
Unlike, superconductor research that has extreme temperatures or pressures, the recent LK-99 work by South Korea [Sukbae Lee, Ji-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Tak Kim] has the levitation effect for classic superconductors shown. The YCBO superconductors needed extreme cooling to show this effect. NOTE: Levitation is possible with diamagnets. There is uncertainty if this is just a strong …
An early application of practical room temperature superconductors would be to enable 2 month trips to Mars. Paihau—Robinson, an industry leader in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet development, is undertaking a five-year research programme into the application of its proprietary magnet technology to applied-field magneto plasma dynamic (AF-MPD) thrusters—a type of electric space thruster. Applied-field magneto …
There have been reports that South Korean researchers have made a practical regular atmospheric pressure room temperature superconductor using basic lab equipment. This would mean superconducting wires and magnets that would not need special cooling. Depending upon your application you might still want to cool the system but you could use regular refrigerants. NOTE: The …
For the first time in the world, researchers (From Korea University, Sukbae Lee, Ji-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Tak Kim) have succeeded in synthesizing a room-temperature superconductor (Tc≥400 K, 127∘C) working at ambient pressure with a modified lead-apatite (LK-99) structure. The superconductivity of LK-99 is proved with the Critical temperature (Tc), Zero-resistivity, Critical current (Ic), Critical magnetic field …
University of Rochester researchers claim they have created a superconducting material at both a temperature and pressure low enough for practical applications. Ten thousand atmospheres of pressure is still manageable. These pressure are used in chip manufacturing. NOTE: These researchers had issues proving a prior paper. They withheld data until they could get a patent. …
Superconductivity in a photochemically transformed carbonaceous sulfur hydride system, starting from elemental precursors, with a maximum superconducting transition temperature of 287.7 ± 1.2 kelvin (about 15 degrees Celsius) achieved at 267 ± 10 gigapascals. The superconducting state is observed over a broad pressure range in the diamond anvil cell, from 140 to 275 gigapascals, with …
Using extremely high pressures, experimentalists have created many superconducting hydride compounds including one—carbon sulfur hydride (CSH)—that appears to work at close to room temperature. Theorists have predicted other hydride compounds which could work at lower pressures. There is race to find versions stable at ambient pressure and room temperature. In 2004, Ashcroft suggested that adding …
University of Rochester researchers squeezed carbonaceous sulfur hydride in a diamond anvil and it superconducted at 15 degrees Celsius under 270 gigapascals of pressure. This is about 2.5 million times regular atmospheric pressure. The bottom of the Mariana Trench has 1071 times the pressure of regular atmosphere. The sample were between 25 and 35 microns. …
