So is this a room temperature superconductor? The article says no, but only because it has a low current? I don't think there's a minimum current capacity to be considered a super conductor.
- lionheart 17y agoI believe, technically, a superconductor has to allow electrons to travel throughout the entire body of the material without resistance. This material only allows the electrons on its surface to travel without resistance. So its not classified as a superconductor. However, this makes me think, can't we make a version of this in a shape with a very high surface area to volume ratio? Then it might be pretty useful as a superconductor for small voltage levels.
