The big asterisk on that being "at 5 Kelvin".
- alenrozac 3y agoThey do say next research step is room temperature..
- hinkley 3y agoSure it is. (Memory doesn’t run at room temperature. It runs at half the boiling point of water).
- hoerensagen 3y agoMemory runs at -68.5°C ?
- hinkley 3y agoYou have water at -68.5 C? Most of us call that ice. So I am pretty sure you know what I mean and you’re flirting with the HN rules.
- liminvorous 3y agoYou can't halve the temperature of something by halving its measument in Celcius, because the celcius starts at some arbitary point above absolute zero. 50 degrees celcius is 86% as hot as the boiling point of water, not 50%.

- MichaelZuo 3y agoNow that you mention it, aren't there superconductors that work at only liquid nitrogen temperatures?
- scotty79 3y agoThere are but they are ceramic which limits their applications because of poor mechanical properties.
- hinkley 3y agoThe good ones work at liquid nitrogen temperatures. One of the previous times superconductors were the rage there were articles about a new one discovered, that only worked at 8°K or some such.
