New Room-Temperature Claims Receive Overwhelming Criticism
Just when you thought the hype about room-temperature superconductors was over, it’s not.
Room-temperature superconductors, if one is ever found and independently confirmed, could revolutionize everything from electricity transmission to computing, electric vehicles, MRI machines, maglev trains and more.
Lately, claims of room-temperature superconductivity seem to be blooming like flowers after a rainstorm.
In the last year alone, three high-profile cases were either debunked, retracted or seriously doubted.
Researchers who TechCrunch+ spoke with were skeptical that this new material is a room-temperature superconductor.
