Ask HN: Any live updates on superconductor replication?

9 pointsby AlexanderTheGr8almost 2 years ago
Hi<p>Does anyone know how the room temperature superconductor replication is going? I can&#x27;t wait to see the results. I can&#x27;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&#x27;t mean we can scale this material and its properties to the level where we&#x27;ll use it for all those fantastic purposes like loss-free energy transfer for the entire electric grid, or effortlessly levitating trains.<p>Remember graphene. This is at <i>best</i> graphene 2.0. Meaning it&#x27;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 <i>could</i> 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 &quot;11th international symposium on metallic multilayers&quot; claimed they tried to replicate and found no meissner effect:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nitter.net&#x2F;sanxiyn&#x2F;status&#x2F;1684817320269774848" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nitter.net&#x2F;sanxiyn&#x2F;status&#x2F;1684817320269774848</a>

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