Sharing for anyone else that think superconductors are interesting
Someone has not been watching Skin Walker ranch recently.
The fuck is that?
It’ll be a long time after room temperature superconductors are discovered before they’re very useful- most superconductors in that temperature range are ceramics, not very useful for power cables and lines.
I mean room temperature superconductors would be phenomenal for transmission lines, compact electronics, etc. When I was doing my Electrical Engineering degree many years ago, there was a fundamental issue that superconductor were running into, but I cannot remember what it was. Ever since I talked with my professor about it, I’d kind of erased it from my mind. Sounds like they haven’t progressed much since the 80’s unfortunately :/
