Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com March 9, a few days ago at the meeting of the American physical Society, physicist Ranga Dias Diaz of the University of Rochester in the United States and his team announced the big news: they have successfully created a new material that can achieve superconductivity at room temperature. As soon as the news was announced, it immediately sparked a heated discussion around the world. However, a paper on the same subject published by the team last October was questioned and withdrawn by Nature, meaning their latest results will face stricter scrutiny.

In an exclusive interview with him early this morning, Dr. Diaz was confident of his team's discovery, which he thought was a revolutionary technology that could change the 21st century, according to the Daily Business News. But at the same time, he also said, "it will take several years to apply our discovery of new materials for room temperature superconductivity to real life."

In the interview, Dr. Diaz said he was very confident that the findings had passed the review. "first of all, this work has been repeated several times in our University of Rochester laboratory and other laboratories, with third-party observation and independent work verification; secondly, our paper has been peer-reviewed and meets the strict standards of the publication. Finally, we resubmitted the 2020 paper for Nature's re-consideration because the questions raised by Nature's editors at the time had no impact on the quality of the experimental data or our conclusions. We also have full confidence in the quality of our work and experiments in 2020. "

Dr. Diaz said that this new room temperature superconducting material will change the entire superconducting industry, which will make possible a range of technologies that will change the way we use, store and transmit energy. not to mention a variety of applications in computing, transportation and medical devices, it will be a revolutionary technology to reshape the 21st century.

However, CTOnews.com notes that superconductivity still requires a pressure of 10 KPA, which is about 10, 000 times the pressure of the atmosphere. Diaz says it will take years of hard work to apply their discovery of new materials for room temperature superconductivity to the real world of any size. These challenges are technical in nature, but they can be overcome.

According to thepaper.cn, Cai Chuanbing, director of the Shanghai High temperature Superconducting key Laboratory and a professor at Shanghai University, believes that the research results shown by Diaz this time are reliable, but the 1GPa pressure required for room temperature superconductivity still belongs to the category of high pressure, which is still far from practical application.
