Sorry, high-temperature super conductors are a thing?

mrfusion • Nov 5, 2016 • View on HN

Did they test if it's super conducting?

Is room temperature super conductivity theoretically possible?

ITB • Dec 7, 2023 • View on HN

sounds like room temp superconductors

m3kw9 • Oct 20, 2024 • View on HN

This sounds similar to someone saying room temp super conductor was discovered

bandyaboot • Aug 17, 2023 • View on HN

Has anyone checked if it’s superconductive at room temperature?

Is a perpetual motion machine now possible with a room temp superconductor like this?
