Every company builds products using the same limited set of available foundational technologies.

Every few decades Physics produces a fundamentally new 'thing' that changes what's physically possible.

High-temperature superconductors are coming, and they'll change everything.

My #physics PhD students Zach and Jake did demos of maglev train with #superconductors , a successful liquid nitrogen show and much more!! They spent many 10s of hrs in making it a perfect show day for

Superconductors have escaped the laboratory and are already in production commercially. As of today, superconductors are a $5bn industry growing at 10% CAGR.

The frontier is to develop materials that superconduct at higher and higher temperatures.

Superconductors are also driving the next generation of chip-design capabilities

Beyond general-purpose quantum computers, integrated Josephson circuit design will open new possibilities in sensor sensitivity, high-speed electronics, and long-distance quantum communication

Very interesting thread on superconductors and quantum computing

What a great role-model! Meet Marsha. Transport enthusiast, parent, leader.

Great conference in Budapest discussing latest developments in super/semi mesoscopic topics in InAs, Germanium,...Also learning about most toxic superconductors... #boundstates2023

Hey, I'm Georgia from TU Darmstadt! Sharing a truly COOL video of our cryoboard in which the high-temperature superconductors are cooled in liquid nitrogen (-196 C). The superconducting pellets are levitated above the extremely strong NdFeB magnets! #magnetism #Science

Looking at the grid needed for 2050 to support #decarbonisation a pan-Euroepan grid is needed to bring production to load centres. New materials such as #superconductors and advanced conductors are also needed. currENT Europe Sec Gen Layla Sawyer says at #iGrid E.DSO ENTSO-E

Andrew Cote As someone with a PhD in high temperature superconductivity, claiming room temperature superconductors _will_ exist is a bold statement. We don't even know the mechanism that causes SC in these materials

New preprint demonstrating a robust and tunable realization of coreless vortices and fractional vortices in recently proposed chiral d-wave superconductors. arxiv.org/abs/2306.01202

My first ever job in physics was at Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute working at Sarah Burke, a research group that investigates room-temperature superconductors by probing the electronic structure of different materials using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope.

Peloton Trooper Ankur | Quality Investing at a Reasonable Price Peter Mallouk This assumes though that we do not identify any advancements that would make the software architecture more efficient or another advancement like superconductors that would minimize the total demand over the longer term. Advancements are already being made in software efficiency.

✅ #Teachers and #professors should be inspiring and educating our kids on tangible skills and logical reasoning.

🙌 They should be preaching real #history and real #science fact!

👏 I enjoyed this video about #superconductors levitating!

One of the earliest applications for high temperature superconductors is building fusion power plants (for most fusion approaches using magnets).

Andrew Cote Any organisation utilising AI to help find room-temp superconductors?

The folks from UConn Chem outdid themselves when it came to their experiments!! 🧪

eigenrobot Nah room temp superconductors really would be a big deal. The big dick application is magnetic containment for fusion reactors, but big effects on cost of electricity in general, high speed rail, most electric motors, etc

Why do husbands forget their wedding anniversary, but some superconductors can remember their past? Part of the answer is contained in today's preprint 💒⏱️🧪arxiv.org/abs/2306.07871 #quantum

Another paper concerned the development of futuristic electronic devices that use superconductors and graphene, a carbon material one atom thick. It could be used in next-generation wireless communications and “security”, the study said

In our lifetimes superconductors will work at room temperatures and be as comparably cheap as regular wire.

This is a sci-fi technology on the cusp of being unlocked by herculean efforts in applied physics, materials science, and manufacturing.

A future beyond our dreams

Directors, studios, and movie stars were scarred by these monumental box office flops. Regardless of the star power and technical effects, some pictures are just doomed to bomb at the box office.

We are continuing the #boundstates2023 workshop in a very good spirit with lots of fruitful exchanges of a vibrant community. Stay tuned for more.
