For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build superconductors that operate at room temperature and transmit electricity with no loss. Now, in a paper published in Nature, a team of Harvard physicists has reported new insights into why one promising superconductor has yielded mysteriously uneven results.
I like that you can build a global energy grid with superconductor. Power Europe at night with the solar panels in Australia, that kind of thing.
Would possibly take care of my country’s little problem of having 30 minutes of sunlight a day in the winter.
We don’t have nuclear either so you can imagine how nasty our energy mix gets in the winter.
