I am not a physicist, let alone the right kind of physicist, but from the abstract it looks like the transition temperature is 35K. That is a long long way away from "room temperature".
- numlocked 6y agoKeep reading: “We have also observed that some phases remain stable without pressure at up to 300 K and for at least 7 days.
- sthnblllII 6y agoIron selenide in those phases does not superconduct at room temperature. The authors have a "strong belief" that other room temperature high pressure superconductors will retain superconductivity at atmospheric pressure using their technique even though the one they studied doesn't.
- darawk 6y ago> We have also observed that some phases remain stable without pressure at up to 300 K and for at least 7 days. 300K = 80F
- joelwilliamson 6y agoIt doesn't superconduct at 300 K, the metastable phase can survive heating to 300 K and superconducting will resume when cooled back down to 26 K.
- billiam 6y ago"Some phases" (a few molecules?) appeared to have to be stable at 300K for a week. Whatever. I've been writing and reading about cold fusion hype since the 1980s, still waiting for my maglev vacuum cleaner.
- evanb 6y agoPhases typically imply a thermodynamically large quantity. It makes no sense to describe the phase of a handful of particles.
