Didnt Princeton also just figure out room temperature semi-conductors?

this is based off that korean lab’s paper from five days ago, shenyang natl lab and lawrence berkeley natl lab both independently corroborated the theoretical results and a couple of chinese universities claim to have synthesized very small batches of the stuff

higher efficiency power transmission and potentially easier fusion since a lot of the issues with fusion right now stem from having to supercool the magnets that confine the reaction

It would be one of the most important inventions in modern history.

e: which is why I'm going to be skeptical until there's a large scale confirmation

it’s not a magic bullet and we probably won’t see tangible results until at least a decade or two but it’s still a pretty big step forward

I think all they have to do now is figure out what to do with the high energy neutrons and fusion is a wrap. good news. vast carbon recapture is going to happen.

I honestly I have no idea who cannibal[SIC] is and I do not know why I should know.

syq dude, just syq!

By all accounts physically making the lk99 superconductor in a properly equipped lab requires low precision and can be done in 24-48 hours, so this is just successful replication of the Korean experiment in preprint.

Unlike the US, though, I bet China will build something with it.

it's incredible how america unloaded a double barrel shotgun into its own balls first by banning china from purchasing high end chips therefore losing their biggest customer and second by incensing them to start producing these chips themselves and in three years created a direct competitor that's on par in quality and cheaper in price.

all for what? what did they even gain from this? lol

You can blame this on Japan. The US's sanctions on Japanese semiconductor industry was very successful and Japan promptly sent three Toshiba suits to jail for taking too much of the daddy America's market share. As a result, Washington thought every country is as easy to beat down and steal marketshare from as Japan.

Maybe it was Japan playing 4D chess all along.

Best known one right now is Moore Threads although their stuff is still fairly early on in product development and needs better drivers, but has good potential.
