SUPERCONDUCTORS
This mystery material creates a new record for superconductivity
Scientists have created a material which can conduct electricity without any resistance at temperatures of up to about 15 °C
Superconductors are best known for their ability to conduct electricity without resistance, but these exotic materials could only be produced artificially and function under specific conditions like certain temperature or pressure. Their demand is high with the reliance of futuristic quantum computing technology upon them.
Besides the futuristic technology, superconductors have various other technological applications like magnetic resonance imaging machines, mobile-phone towers & vastly efficient everyday electricity generation and transmission. Researchers are even experimenting with them in high-performance generators for wind turbines.
Imagine how much easier would it become if they can function under normal conditions (room temperature etc.) or maybe occur naturally. As it turns, a superconductor that works at room temperature or one that even occurs naturally is not as outlandish as it may sound. For the naturally occurring part, we might not find them here on Earth, but in space. The discovery of superconductivity in…
