“We have finally been issued our patent for our Above Room Temp Superconductor”
- gus_massa 3y agoA few remarks/questions: 1) Most modern superconductors have a high critical temperature but at a huge pressure. I can't find that detail. Is this at ambient pressure? 2) It looks like they are using a different material. What is the chemical formula? 3) The patent office don't check that the material works. They only see the paperwork. It's not necessary to give them a sample, or have the data accepted in a peer review journal, or even a working prototype. So this may been "vaporware". Is there more data available?
- alpaca128 3y agoA bit further down they confirm it's at ambient pressure. But only time will tell if all those claims are true.
- gus_massa 3y agoThe material in this post is made with perorated graphene wetted with aliphatic hydrocarbon (somewhat something like gasoline, if there is no a chemist around to complain). It has a lot of structure in the graphene and in the material that support the grahene. So it is very different from the LK-99 discussed this week. Other materials somewhat similar to LK-99 have shown superconductivity, but not at room temperature and pressure. I don't remember something similar from graphene mixes. And this has filled two years ago and nobody noticed. Pain me very skeptical.
