Building on previously reported local superconductivity in graphite, have provided much explanation to <i>why</i> this occurs, has been in review for over a year, no signs of trying to sell a product, and provides guidance for further material research...<p>> In the present work, we report the first unambiguous experimental evidence for the global zero-resistance state, RTSC, in the scotch-tape cleaved highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) that possesses dense arrays of nearly parallel line defects (LD), the wrinkles...<p>> The basic principle we have uncovered is that linear defects in stacked materials host strong strain gradient fluctuations, which induce the local pairing of electrons into condensate droplets that form JJA-like structures in the planes.<p>Very neat!
I mean AI is helping to discover new molecules, predicting protein folds, etc. Pretty sure it must already be being used to discover new materials as well, hopefully we can throw this sort of thing at it today/in the near future, too.<p>Humanity as the seed of an idea/initial research and AI as the army of
low-level "researchers" running billions of experiments/analysis; stuff that would take way too many human-years/would be boring as hell for a human to do.
