Superconductivity at Room Temperature: A Physics Revolution
Superconductivity is a state where materials conduct electricity with zero resistance.
Traditionally, superconductivity only occurs at extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero.
Achieving room-temperature superconductivity would revolutionize energy transmission and electronics.
Recent experiments have shown superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials at temperatures around 15°C under extreme pressures.
Superconductors can create powerful magnetic fields for applications like MRI machines and maglev trains.
Quantum phenomena, including Cooper pairs of electrons, underlie the mechanism of superconductivity.
Room-temperature superconductivity could drastically reduce energy loss in power grids worldwide.
It may enable ultra-fast, highly efficient quantum computers and advanced electronics.
High-pressure techniques are currently required, but scientists aim to find materials that superconduct at ambient pressure.
Unlocking practical room-temperature superconductivity could transform technology, energy, and industry, marking a new era in physics.
