SUPERCONDUCTOR BREAKTHROUGH THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD
- Physicists from the College of William and Mary and South Korea's Quantum Energy Research Center have discovered what appears to be the Holy Grail of superconductors
- It doesn't experience electrical resistance and can operate at room temperature and ambient air pressure
- Called LK-99, it does not require extreme cold and extreme high pressure to work like current systems do
- Experts say if this is true, the new superconductor will change the world
- It will unlock new, highly advanced technologies, at much lower costs, in
- Computers
- Wireless communications
- Transportation
- Healthcare
- Energy
- Fusion reactors and more
- This new discovery has been published, but not peer reviewed as of yet by top physicists
- There is some skepticism in scientific circles because of similar claims in the past that proved untrue
- The new superconductor is composed of lead, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus and according to the research team allows electricity to pass through virtually unimpeded
- If the superconductor proves to work when vetted by experts, it could be the biggest physics discovery of our times and likely merit a Nobel Prize.
NASA TO LAUNCH FREE STREAMING PLATFORM
