Room Temperature Superconductors and their Potential
1:08:41 - 1:18:35 (09:53)
The discovery of a room temperature superconductor could lead to a revolution in technology, including infinite battery storage and superconducting microprocessors. Hydrogen-rich compounds are promising candidates but require high pressures to operate at room temperature. The potential benefits of a room temperature superconductor could also include cheaper renewable energy and more power efficient AI chips.
