I hope they find a way to scale to production, but given how impactful it could be I’m certain there are a lot of people working like mad to do just that. Currently the only known way to make them is “shake n’ bake” lol.
If this works at all, every material scientist in the world will be working on similar materials and manufacturing processes for them to improve the effect and make them more manufacturable.
I hope so. My fear is after seeing what the fossil fuel industries did to stop alternatives from arising, that they will embark on a new campaign to undermine this for as long as possible.
Agreed. Very rarely do scientific discoveries like this leak into the mainstream news cycle, but this one has and so it’ll be very difficult to keep people from losing their shit if any organization tries to suppress it.
The fossil fuel industry opposing superconductors would be like Blockbuster trying to run a campaign to destroy the Internet to preserve their video rental chain. The rest of the world would tell them to sit down and shut up with their piddling little concerns and trivial economic power. Superconductors will be far more important.
This is amazing news

I think this would be a big enough deal that even they couldn’t stop everyone from trying to use it.
