"The Meissner effect (or Meißner–Ochsenfeld effect) is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state when it is cooled below the critical temperature. This expulsion will repel a nearby magnet. " - from wikipedia. I had to look it up.

I'm not even smart enough to understand this headline

Superconductor. It's baa-aaack!

A potential "room-temperature" semiconductor?

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There are many room-temperature semiconductors, for example silicon.

Meissner effect is related to superconductors

Pretty much all my semiconductors operate well above room temperature! (relatively)

Not another one :p

Oh no, a potential revolution in technology, again. How tedious.

copper substituted lead apatite is literally what lk-99 was. Obviously the exact number and process could be different but colour me extremely skeptical after how that played out.

Call me when it gets past being a headline in some tech journal.

And how is this different than LK-99, which was pretty conclusively proven to not be superconductive?
