But superconductors have an essential problem when it comes to other practical applications.
Room temperature superconductor applications.
But that generally only happens at temperatures.
Research also continues into some anomalous but unexplained reports that graphite soaked in water can act as a room temperature superconductor but there s no indication that this could be used for technological applications yet.
These mind boggling materials allow electric current to flow freely without resistance.
Key points a room temperature superconductor rts is a material capable of superconductivity above a temperature of 0 c.
While this is not strictly room temperature which would be approximately 20 25 c 68 77 f it is the temperature at which ice forms and can be reached and easily maintained in an everyday environment.
They operate at ultra low temperatures.
Potential applications of room temperature.
The article lists a lot of emerging technologies that make use of superconductors.
Superconductors are the holy grail of energy efficiency.
Although many researchers claim to have observed room temperature superconductivity scientists have been unable to.
