Any live updates on superconductor replication?


Hi

Does anyone know how the room temperature superconductor replication is going? I can't wait to see the results. I can't find any live updates from labs except for 1 guy on twitter

People have completely unrealistic expectations. Even if we find superconducting properties, it doesn't mean we can scale this material and its properties to the level where we'll use it for all those fantastic purposes like loss-free energy transfer for the entire electric grid, or effortlessly levitating trains.

Remember graphene. This is at best graphene 2.0. Meaning it's a small step and a lot of work left to do.

Nothing yet, and that in itself is news. A confirmation would be quick, a non-confirmation much slower. So it could still happen but the chances of it being the real deal are diminishing as it takes longer to confirm past roughly now.

presentation in korea at "11th international symposium on metallic multilayers" claimed they tried to replicate and found no meissner effect:

No news is bad news, so I think we can give up on this now.
