Is my understanding correct that 100k at ambient pressure is pretty special on its own?

- downWidOutaFite 3y agoYBCO and BSCCO are superconductors around 100K at ambient pressure. Unfortunately their brittleness limits their practical use. Maybe LK-99 will have better mechanical properties.
- adrian_b 3y agoUnfortunately no. In this paper it is mentioned that the fact that the material is very fragile made it difficult to obtain pieces of a consistent size and form for measurements. Moreover, from the results of the theoretical papers it is suggested that perhaps this material would work best as a monocrystal, with anisotropic conduction properties. That could still have very important applications, but not for making cables or coils.
