Room-temperature superconductor 'breakthrough' met with scepticism
- sergiomattei 3y agoThe researchers addressed the criticism wrt diamagnetic properties: “Kim says that this is due to the sample being imperfect which means that only some part of it becomes superconductive and exhibits the Meissner effect” https://archive.is/Lve8I https://archive.is/Lve8I
- xqcgrek2 3y agoThat doesn't sound like they addressed the criticism.
- sergiomattei 3y agoIt’s an “address”, just not a compelling one
- sp332 3y agoBeing skeptical isn't interesting. We want to know if the results are repeatable.
- tamimio 3y ago>Material name is LK99 Slightly off topic but somehow reminded me of E99 material from the game Singularity [1]. On topic though, it would be interesting to have that material to build a levitating drone, no props, no brushless motors, and most importantly, no power needed!
