I'll say, for "room temperature", that's certainly no room I'd want to be in.
- carabiner 3y agoNo, the video shows them manipulating the superconductor with their hands in thin gloves.
- thevinter 3y agoTc is the critical temperature, not the temperature at which it conducts best
- tkanarsky 3y agothat's the max temp beyond which it loses superconductivity, not a requirement. The paper has a graph of max current vs temp, and it gets vastly better at actual room temp of ~300k
