Superconductivity is weird. It is a phenomenon where electricity moves though a certain material with no resistance.
It is like travelling on a highway for a 100 kilometers without paying for gas.
The thing is….Superconductivity always happened at very specific conditions such as cooling the material to very low temperature, which consumes energy ⚡ and makes superconductivity super inconvenient for practical applications. Until last week!
A couple of Korean Scientists announced they created a lead-copper material that exhibits superconductivity at ambient temperature. No need to cool the material down!
They called it LK-99
What will be interesting is to see if this can be reproduced and verified independently in the next few weeks/months.
If ambient temperature superconductivity is achieved and became commercially available. Electricity can be transported for free.
In other words, anything that uses electricity including computers will have an infinite boost in efficiency. This is why we should be cautiously optimistic.
What do you think?
