Caltech Theory Limits Room Temperature Superconductivity
Caltech scientists present a comprehensive theory explaining core aspects of superconductivity and argue that existing superconductors cannot reach room temperature. The work, based on quantum bond calculations, suggests guidance toward materials that someday become superconductive at higher temperatures but not in the near term. The theory challenges hopes for levitating trains and lossless power lines using current magnets. The 1911 discovery showed metals lose resistance when cooled near absolute zero to 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
