Biggest Scientific Discovery of the 21st Century? UPDATE: Simulations Support LK-99 as room temp Super Conductor

This is going to be the new arms race.

Yup, a$$holes always take something that benefit everyone and monetize it smfh.

All the fly shyt we got right now and can do right now, hidden behind money.

If true...putting lead in everything, including phones? High tech, high crime future is back baby.

Wouldn't that be poisonous?

Some real exciting shyt, it seems like everybody is waiting on people's experiments around the world to confirm if it's true.

A room temperature super conductor is huge news if true

I'll wait for more evidence because that's factually true. This might be the equivalent of discovering steam and would accelerate human productivity and machine capability. With new types of computers running detailed simulations, we can create a very detailed digital twin of earth and run simulations on it using climate data to figure out what climate change will do to our planet and experiment with ways of solving it before we go extinct. Like how many trees could be planted via drone, how much seaweed can be grown, plankton reproduced, organisms modified to break down plastics in the ocean etc.

I’ll keep up with this

I’m excited too but it look like the paper has to be peer reviewed and replicated.

But yeah really big breakthrough if true. Damn near anything that uses electricity will be much more efficient , 0% energy loss. Use cases people haven’t even come up with.

0% energy loss I hope this is true.

From reddit

"If it turns out to actually work, we will have computer processors that are hundreds or even thousands of times faster than current devices. That's because the pathways inside an integrated circuit have to be made with conductive material(copper?) that has some resistance to electricity. That resistance causes heat. The faster the processor runs the more heat is generated, putting a limit on performance.

If the pathways could be made with a superconducting material that worked at everyday temps and pressures then they'd run much faster without generating so much heat that they damage themselves."

I'm a Mech. Engineer so this is out of my field in that sense, but I'm also in Energy Conservation so this news, if repeatable/true, is MASSIVELY impactful.

Gonna wait and see before getting my hopes up.​

I hate to be a pessimist, but it won't impact pricing which I see as the real issue. It will be prohibitively too expensive for the average person to benefit from the abundance.

According to the (disputed) paper, you can make this in your own garage/basement.

Price won't be an issue for the 'average' person.....but this is all speculation until verified.

Nothing wrong with your skepticism. It's justified at this point.

Let's see what happens.

One can only hope. I hope and think the best path forward for individual humans is to develop our own power sources and home resource stations like food/waste management. I don't think it's sustainable on a fully societal level at our current/projected population levels to either 1, elevate all people out of poverty, or 2, not become ultimately self-destructive to humanity and the ecosystem as a whole.

Or...you know...we just do away with the concept of Nobel prizes altogether since it is part of the climate that produces the selfish mentality you're describing.

People should be making discoveries for the public good only. Not for fame and money.

Everyone wants an honor. Wouldn’t you appreciate a rep right now … exactly …
