Superconductor Breakthrough: Scientists Discover an Invisible Phenomenon

With more understanding of the connection between spin liquids and superconductivity, it may be able to create superconductors that function at room temperature, which would revolutionize our way of life. For technologies like high-speed hovertrains, MRI equipment, effective power lines, quantum computers, and others, superconductors hold great technical and financial promise. However, as superconductivity needs extremely low temperatures, their usefulness is constrained. Because of this demanding and expensive requirement, integrating them with current technology is quite difficult. In contrast to regular metallic conductors, whose resistance decreases gradually as temperature is decreased, even down to close to absolute zero, superconductors have a specified critical temperature beyond which it abruptly drops to zero. The main goal of modern superconductivity research is to find superconductors that don't require such low temperatures. The major unsolved question in this discipli...
