🚨Breaking: Move over, LK-99. New claims for RTAPS Room Temp Superconductor from Thorium salts.
A new, not yet peer-reviewed paper claims that thorium salts function as a Room Temperature Superconductor. Are we back?
Imagine a world where electricity flows freely without any loss, powering our devices without ever needing to recharge. That’s the promise of superconductivity! Scientists have been trying to make this dream a reality for over a century. The problem is that most materials only become superconductive at extremely low temperatures, hundreds of degrees below freezing!
This paper talks about a new discovery that could change everything: room temperature superconductivity in certain thorium (“Zhao pair network”) salts. Thorium is a radioactive element, but don’t worry, the levels of radiation are very low.
What makes these thorium salts special? Well, it all comes down to electrons. You know how electrons usually zoom around an atom’s nucleus? In these thorium salts, two electrons decide to team up and form a special bond called a (“Zhao pair”). This “Zhao pair” acts differently than regular electrons.
The paper explains that these thorium salts have a special arrangement of atoms that creates a kind of network. The “Zhao pairs” can move freely through this (“Zhao pair network”), creating a flow of electricity without any resistance. It’s like a superhighway for electrons!
This is a big deal because it means we might be able to create superconductors that work at room temperature, without needing expensive and complicated cooling systems.
The scientists who made this discovery also came up with a new theory to explain how these thorium salts work. They call it the “Zhao pair” mechanism. It’s different from the traditional theory of superconductivity (“BCS theory”) because it doesn’t require something called a phonon to help the electrons pair up. This “Zhao pair” mechanism could explain how other unconventional superconductors work too.
Although this is a very exciting discovery, we still have a lot to learn. Scientists need to do more research to confirm these findings and explore how to use these thorium salts to build new technologies.
Imagine a future with super-efficient power grids, ultra-fast computers, and levitating trains, all thanks to room temperature superconductivity. This discovery could be the key to unlocking that future.
The paper mentions obscure Japanese patent JP 20006710314 B2 which I SuperPromptIt™️ as well! You know me, I always SuperPromptIt™️ 🦸
I also did Ai peer review of the paper above: Ai found erros and made suggestions how to improve the paper.
Are we back yet? Leave your comments below & enjoy!
