Current Climate: Why The Internet Got Excited About #Superconductors
>superconductors don’t generate any heat when electricity flows through them, and they can be used to make compact and powerful electromagnets–it’d be hard to build MRIs without them. But most of them also need to be kept at near absolute zero, a bulky and expensive proposition. [..] They could also boost prospects for technologies like magnetically levitating high-speed trains and nuclear fusion plants https://www.forbes.com/sites/alanohnsman/2023/08/19/current-climate-why-the-internet-got-excited-about-room-temperature-superconductors/

At some point I wanted to be physicist but opted for the practical and became an engineer. These days I’m very jealous.

Superconductor breakthrough could represent ‘biggest physics discovery of a lifetime’ – but scientists urge caution
'Breakthrough would mark ‘holy grails of modern physics, unlocking major new developments in energy, transportation, healthcare, and communications’ – but it is a long way from being proven'
