A Few Watts of Continuous Terahertz Lasers Can Enable Room-temperature Superconductors

Diamond anvils can make superconductors at or near room temperature in the lab. Now a path to useful room-temperature superconductors has been briefly shown using 10 THz lasers. A few watts of Continuous 10 Thz lasers hitting K3C60 (a fullerene), can make the material behave as a room temperature superconductor. What still must be done …

Anger and Ridicule Should NOT Be Used Against LK99 Superconductors and Other Valid Science

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 …

US Navy Shifting to Electric Ships and Superconducting Engines If Costs Were Lowered

The US Navy has built and tested 5 Megawatt and 36.5 megawatt superconducting engines over ten years ago. All of the tests were good and the specifications were met. They need to lower the cost and increase reliability. Test superconducting motors have been built for large wind power systems. If the LK99 superconductors were real …

University Colorado Analysis that LK99 Class of Materials Looks Good for High Temperature Superconductors

University Colorado researchers calculated that the class of LK99 material (weak interaction of Copper‒Oxygen, while minimizing hybridization) shows promise for high temperature superconductivity regardless of LK-99 actually working. They found through DFT (Density Function Theory) calculation that flat CuO bands in Cu-doped Pb apatite (LK99) is generally consistent with the statement in that this kind …
