!codecels add anything that non-nerds would appreciate about LK-99 and superconductors.
OKAY CARP. You know how your phone gets hot sometimes, or if you feel the bottom of your computer () it can feel like it is on fire? That's because electricity makes things hot as it runs through them. This isn't good, and it's why your computer has a fan in it that buzzes all the time! It's also wasteful, because that heat is actual energy that could be powering things, so it's costing YOU money!
(That's also how electric blankets work BTW
)
What if there was something that didn't get hot when you ran power through it? That would be pretty cool, literally.
Since your computer wouldn't get so hot, you could actually run it faster (if you run it too fast right now, it would melt
). It could also reduce your electric bill, since you wouldn't have to worry about waste heat! That's what a superconductor is - it's a conductor, just super powered.
There's also some other really cool things about superconductors that you should know as well. Superconductors can make things levitate really well. Watch this:
C'mon, you've got to admit this is cool!
Some people made it into a train track. I've cut to the cool part. Watch it zip around!
At the very least you have to admit that would be fun to play with
Right now the biggest problem with superconductors is you have to keep them super cold or under tons of pressure
. Which sucks because earth doesn't get that cold or that highly pressurized, or you'd die instantly
. The Koreans claimed to have made a superconductor that you can play with in your normal day-to-day life - it can be at normal temperatures.
They call it LK99 (idk why). We are all watching and hoping it's the real deal because that would be SWEET.

The actual concept is pretty simple -- copper is a pretty good conductor. Better than aluminum at least. Ceramic is a shitty conductor, which is why we use it as an insulator. Poor conductors, if they conduct at all, have a lot of resistance which means you lose energy to heat.
Superconductors are really dang good at the heckin' conductorino, with almost no resistance, but they're also hard to make and maintain.
Supposedly this breakthrough was a way to make a superconductor without a truckload of heat and magnets and shit?

Why do people keep saying superconductors will change this![:marseypregunta: :marseypregunta:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseypregunta.webp)
Most of the power dissipation is in the transistors
Superconductors will get rid of inductive impedance but do nothing for capacitance, which reduces the signalling rate, same as before

In a normal conductor electrons move through the metal as free particles, with a degree of resistance.
Superconductors have material properties where electrons can enter a phase where they pair up and this allows them to collapse into a superfluid state which lets them pass through the metal basically unimpeded if a magnetic field is applied.
Look at Bose Einstein condensates and how they can actually flow out of a container they are contained in by laws of quantum mechanics.
Superconductors are basically like that but for electrons.
