South Korean researchers said they found a superconductor that works at room temperature, which has long been considered a holy grail for scientists in the field.
A view shows one of the superconductor coils which are assembled to form the giant magnet within which the magnectic field is 11.7 T., the core component of the most powerful MRI scanner in the world to be used for human brain imaging at the Neurospin facility of the CEA Saclay Nuclear Research Centre near...
The South Korean researchers last week said they found a superconductor that works at room temperature, which has long been considered a holy grail for scientists in the field. The gold standard for proof of discovery is other labs reliably replicating the South Korean researchers' findings. "We call them USOs," said Mike Norman, a condensed matter physicist at Argonne National Laboratory. "There's a long history of USOs going a long way back, including some very famous people who thought they had a superconductor and they didn't. It's like anything in science - you can be fooled. Even good people can be fooled."
