The specifics are as follows:
According to the American Physical Society's (APS) November 23, 2020, release, a group of scientists from the University of Rochester reported discovering a high-temperature superconducting phenomenon that occurs at room temperature. The study focused on a thin-film material composed of copper oxide and iron (FeO), which the researchers say exhibited superconducting properties at about 60 degrees Celsius.
These temperatures, while much higher than conventional superconducting materials cooled by liquid nitrogen, still require cooling to achieve superconductivity. While the results of this study have attracted a lot of attention, more research is still needed to confirm whether such materials are indeed capable of room-temperature superconductivity. Therefore, the results of this study still need to be further verified and confirmed.
However, if superconductivity can be achieved at room temperature, then this would be a huge breakthrough. It could have several implications:
1. Energy transmission and storage: superconducting technology could improve transmission efficiency and reduce energy losses. In addition, room-temperature superconducting materials can be more easily fabricated and manipulated, which is expected to reduce costs.
2. Medical devices: Superconducting technology can be applied in medical devices, such as MRI scanners, thus improving their performance and resolution.
3, transportation: superconducting technology can be applied in high-speed trains and magnetic levitation trains, thus improving their speed and efficiency.
If the room-temperature superconductivity technology mentioned in this report is proved to be real and effective, and can be applied commercially.
Impact or change brought by room-temperature superconductivity technology
1, energy industry: room-temperature superconductivity technology can improve the efficiency of power transmission, reduce energy losses, and thus reduce energy costs. In addition, room temperature superconducting technology can provide more efficient and reliable solutions for energy storage, such as capacitors and inductors made of superconducting materials.
2, medical equipment: room temperature superconducting technology can provide higher resolution and faster scanning speed for medical equipment, thus improving its performance and reliability. This will promote the development and advancement of medical diagnostic technology, and help improve medical standards and people's health.
3. Transportation: room temperature superconductivity technology can be applied to high-speed trains and magnetic levitation trains, thus improving their speed and efficiency. This will lead to faster and more convenient transportation, shorten the distance and travel time between cities, and improve people's travel efficiency and convenience.
4, scientific research: room temperature superconductivity technology can provide more powerful tools and platforms for scientific research, such as superconductivity technology used in magnetic **** vibration imaging, particle gas pedals and so on. This will help promote the progress of scientific research and facilitate human understanding and exploration of the laws of nature.
