A room temperature superconductor is a material that is capable of exhibiting superconductivity at operating temperatures above 0 c 273 k.
Room temperature superconductor applications.
But superconductors have an essential problem when it comes to other practical applications.
Research also continues into some anomalous but unexplained reports that graphite soaked in water can act as a room temperature superconductor but there s no indication that this could be used for technological applications yet.
They operate at ultra low temperatures.
The applications of room temperature superconductors would be the same as the applications of normal superconductors but these applications would just be much easier to realize if cryogenic environment is not needed.
Superconductors are the holy grail of energy efficiency.
Although many researchers claim to have observed room temperature superconductivity scientists have been unable to.
While this is not strictly room temperature which would be approximately 20 25 c 68 77 f it is the temperature at which ice forms and can be reached and easily maintained in an everyday environment.
Potential applications of room temperature.
There are no room temperature superconductors.
But that generally only happens at temperatures.
