Hydrocarbons Can Superconduct, Too
- Groxx 17y agoAnyone know the temperature required?
- skorgu 17y ago"..when picene (C22H14) is doped with potassium, it superconducts at a relatively toasty 18 kelvins (–255 degrees C)."
- Groxx 17y ago* gah * how did I miss that? Thanks! For an early development, that is relatively "toasty". But aside from relative cheapness (I assume), there's little use to superconductors that require temps colder than -196 C (liquid nitrogen).
