The Discovery of The Century or BUST? High Temperature Superconductor | Inna Vishik and Jorge Hirsch

Показать описание
Breaking news! A team of scientists in South Korea has made an extraordinary claim: they have discovered a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor. This means that they have found a material that can conduct electricity perfectly under everyday conditions.

This is a huge deal. If it's true, it could revolutionize many technologies. We could have perfectly efficient power grids, levitating trains, and commercially viable fusion reactors. The possibilities are endless.

But the scientific community is taking this with a grain of salt. There have been many claims of room-temperature superconductors in the past, and they've all turned out to be false. So we need to be careful before we get too excited.

The researchers behind this latest claim say that they've done their due diligence. They've repeated their experiments multiple times, and they've had their results peer-reviewed. But until their work is published in a peer-reviewed journal, we won't know for sure if they're right.

So tune in to this thrilling chat between experimentalist Professor Inna Vishik of UC Davis and my colleague Professor Jorge Hirsch, a theorist and past guest here at UCSD. This is one is a must-watch.

Why they are less women in this field? When I was studying medicine 1976 in my Alma Matter we were on average 1:10 🔴:🔵 and now we are even. If we think the many centuries women didn’t had the right to pursue an education to these days the change is happening very fast. Just wait and see Dr. K,
The new Barbies are powerful ☺️

After copper-oxide superconductors have been discovered in 1987 it took more than 10 years to get samples good enough to properly measure all the fundamental physical parameters relevant for superconductivity. This is always a problem with non-stoichiometric compounds where a very precise homogeneous doping level is required for measurements on macroscopic samples (e.g. resistivity meaurements). If the domain of stability of SC is very narrow in LK99 it might then take some time to work out a reliable synthesis procedure. Copper-oxide superconductors were immediately recognized as such because the full Meissner effect was easily observed in samples synthesized by different labs, however remember that the domain of SC vs oxygen doping was relatively large in these materials so that small differences in synthesis process were not critical.

Was the technical level of discussion too high, too low or just right? Thanks for joining us!

Thanks Dr. Keating. Exciting and great to learn more about superconductivity regardless of the outcome of this new claim!

I wish the lab who's claiming discovery would 100, % vet this out before they blast YouTube and the news for the clicks Thank you Brian for the indepth and informative discussion on this topic!

The animations are great! A basic animation has a lot of substance. Which is far more helpful than no animation.

Respect for Jorge Hirsch. Clarity of mind and clearly motivated by the pursuit of truth, without sacrificing the enthusiasm and joy of discovery.

I’m not sure if Dr. Keating has ever had Salvatore Pais on as a guest. He has 3 very intriguing patents through the US Navy, including a patent that was cited in the superconductor patent.

I’d really love to see Brian dig into his patents :)

People making videos on the latest superconductors are spending way too much time talking about potential future tech. This is repetitive to anyone watching more than 1 of these videos because it's the same stuff over and over. All I'm really interested in is the validity of this latest material. This video seems to be an exception, thanks

Why do people use words like 'or BUST' for some claims and not for others? It seems so disparaging. Words like 'extraordinary claims' or 'extraordinary evidence' are subjective and have no place in scientific inquiry.

Sabine has already covered LK 99, it's way too suspect and doesn't have a proper Meisner effect on camera, she was very skeptical.
As a semiconductor engineer, I would have little concern for the semiconductor future even if it's true.

ah eh ya um ya um ah I think the resistance vs temperature umm, da oh ahhh ehhh wee, the super conductors should have no .. ehh um da doh ... etc..

Very interesting talk !
nice to hear Inna's opinions in video format
too bad Jorge couldn't stay to the end
thanks for bringing people with knowledge, and thanks for all the clarifications.

The fact there are several of them competing to release this info with their name associated with it leads me to think there may be at least some truth to their claims.

If it sounds too good to be true...well then it must be me.

This episode is amazing and it it has 2 great experts. No amount of goofy criticism in the comment section will convince me otherwise. Like wtf, I've watched many videos on this and this is the best discussion of them all, what more do you need, did you expect Brian to fly to your place on a helicopter and give you a massage while you watch it? Slow down with your demands, you goofs.

The question here is how to grasp elements and layer them on a neutral base.

Is it possible that a near superconductor could be invented? Zero resistivity seems to be the holy grail but what if a material was 10 times more conductive than copper? Or is this not possible.

The sound on your yt Dr. Keating...the mic is lossy or maybe it's the web service. I don't want to be a jerk, just saying.
