The original finding was written by experienced chemists, not physicists. There are some problems where solutions are searched for in the wrong directions.
Our current generation of YCBO-based high-temperature superconductors started out as low-field, low-current, highly strain-sensitive, and over 30+ years of engineering development, these now carry >1000 amps/mm^2 in fields as high as 10T (although these numbers trade off against each other). It’s a matter of time.
Big if true
How big kinda depends…
The two limits on superconductor performance are:
It will soon go to National Labs to establish those parameters
From what I understand, even if the current and magnetic field of this superconductor are low, it has:
Even if it’s useless it’s a massive step forwards in superconductor development
I guess you could say that even if it has low electric and magnetic capacity it still will have a giant impact on industry. But not all industries.
