Podcasts about Superconductivity

What's driving the current surge of interest in quantum computing? What are the main obstacles to scaling up quantum computing systems? What's the current state of investment in quantum research and development? For the latest episode of SparX, we are joined by theoretical physicist, Joel Moore. Joel's research has greatly improved our understanding of quantum materials and their unique properties. His work on condensed matter physics has led to important advances in the field, shedding new light on the behavior of complex systems. Join us as we discuss the field of quantum mechanics and understand the progress of quantum computing.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: LK-99 in retrospect, published by bhauth on July 7, 2024 on LessWrong. About a year ago, there was a lot of public interest in a supposed room-temperature superconductor called LK-99. What I publicly said at the time was, basically: 1. We should remember the possibility that apparent levitation is from ferromagnetism or paramagnetism. Iron filings can stand up on a magnet, and pyrolytic graphite can float over a strong magnet. 2. If we consider some known high-temperature superconductors: YBCO has flat sheets of copper oxide, and superconductivity happens along those planes. The copper in that has high positive charge density, comparable to aluminum atoms in alumina, which gives strong bonding to the oxygen. H3S (paper) has unusually strong bonds between the sulfur and hydrogen, which only form because the atoms are pressed into each other with enough pressure to substantially compress liquid water. Superconductivity comes from flow of Cooper pairs, and the electron-phonon interaction must be stronger than random thermal movement. LK-99 doesn't seem to have any reason to have exceptionally strong such interactions. (Yes, I'm simplifying, you have to consider phonon bandgaps, but the point is at least directionally correct.) 1. The focus on "room-temperature" superconductivity is a bit silly. Even with systems using liquid nitrogen cooling, the superconducting wires are much more expensive than the cooling. What's really needed for superconductors to be practical is cheaper superconducting wires, not higher-temperature ones. At the time, I found the unusual amount of public interest a bit bemusing. There have been various claims of near-room-temp superconductivity, but none of them attracted as much public attention as LK-99. A few months earlier, Ranga Dias published a paper claiming room-temperature superconductivity; he's now up to 5 retractions. What was different about LK-99? That was supposedly superconducting at ambient pressure, which makes it more practical, but also means less specialized equipment is needed to replicate it - or claim to replicate it. LK-99 had a video that appealed to people. There were also a few social conditions that I think were important: 1. It had been a while since that last major excitement about fake science news. After some big story that turns out to be wrong, people are more skeptical of science stories in every field for a while, and then things gradually go back to a baseline. (That's how things were after eg the "arsenic in DNA" story, which didn't make sense either: arsenate esters aren't stable enough for DNA.) I understand the heuristic that people applied but the way it's applied here doesn't really make sense. 2. Misleading short videos + social media is a combination that hadn't really been applied to bad science stories before. 3. I think the atmosphere at the time had a lot of demand for ammunition in a wider techno-optimist vs techno-pessimist conflict. ("Room-temperature superconductors and Boom Technology making practical supersonic aircraft! We're so back!") I think those overall conditions caused the LK-99 story to be self-amplifying, because: Several twitter accounts made fake videos showing "replication" of LK-99 superconductivity, because it was just good social media strategy. I think iris_IGB is still up a lot of followers overall. Don't hate the player, hate the game, I guess. Some theorists jumped on the story by finding "theoretical justifications" because it seemed like a net career positive, statistically speaking. In many cases, whether the social status of a scientific theory is amplified or diminished over time seems to depend more on the social environment than on whether it's true. For example, the amyloid theory of Alzheimer's is still going, and real money is being paid for drugs based on it that...

Ranga Dias z ameriške univerze Rochester je leta 2020 zaslovel, potem ko je v reviji Nature poročal o prvem superprevodniku pri sobni temperaturi. To je bil velikanski uspeh, eden izmed svetih gralov moderne fizike, ki je Diasu na široko odprl pot do Nobelove nagrade, svetu pa do učinkovitejše prihodnosti z manj izgubami energije. A danes vemo, da je za njegovim domnevnim odkritjem prevara in vrsta goljufij.

Recent experiments suggest the phenomenon of light induced superconductivity above Tc in two different materials: fullerene superconductor K3C60 and high Tc cuprate YBCO. I will discuss the distinct phenomena taking place in these systems. In K3C60, the unusual character of electron-phonon interactions results in enhanced BCS pairing through optical driving and the slow relaxation of superconducting correlations after they have been created. In YBCO the light induced state is short lived and its properties can be explained from the perspective of a Floquet material. I will present a general theoretical framework for understanding Floquet materials, in which the pump-induced oscillations of a collective mode lead to the parametric generation of excitation pairs. This can result in features such as photo- induced edges in reflectivity, enhancement of reflectivity, and even light amplification.

Dr. Inna Vishik, associate professor of physics at University of California, Davis, joins Double Take to delve into explosive advances in superconductor technology and why this matters to investors.

Researchers have some disappointing news about that wonder material that appeared to be superconductive at room temperatures. Gartner says that generative AI is about to take the plunge toward the trough of disillusionment. And New York City says city workers can't have TikTok on their work phones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doomberg is an anonymous collective producing the world's most popular financial substack. In this interview, we discuss the state of scientific research in the context of the potential game-changing implications that a room-temperature superconductor may have been developed. We talk about the framework for evaluating such claims, the importance of critical thinking, and a range of other current topics of debate. - - - - In the digital age, reducing the electrical resistance of conducting materials is one of the major problems scientists are working on; such resistance leads to energy loss in the form of heat, and thereby, the inefficient transmission of electricity and increased costs. The US energy grid loses about 5% of electricity through transmission lines due to such resistance, enough energy to power the whole of Central America 4 times over. The innovation that overcomes the resistance issue is superconductivity: the phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electric current with zero resistance so there is no energy loss due to resistance and no heat generation. Further, superconductors can carry electric current indefinitely without any degradation of the signal, making them incredibly efficient. Superconductivity's impact on technological progress is significant. It enables the development of more efficient electrical systems beyond power transmission: it has revolutionized fields such as medical imaging, particle accelerators and quantum computing. It could also lead to breakthroughs in fields like transportation, where superconducting materials could create highly efficient electric motors or levitation systems for maglev trains. However, traditional superconductors require extremely low temperatures, often near absolute zero, making their implementation and maintenance expensive and impractical. If superconductivity could be achieved at or close to room temperature, it could herald a new technology revolution. So, when South Korean researchers recently announced the discovery of a new room-temperature superconductor material called LK 99, ‘X' (i.e. Twitter) went crazy. However, there is a massive gap between claims of scientific breakthrough and peer-reviewed validation. Unfortunately, in this case, other researchers are struggling to replicate the original work. As such, whilst the excitement around such news is obviously merited, we need all to remain rooted in the methodical scientific method, which is predicated on scepticism. As Carl Sagan stated, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the discovery made in 1911 by the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1853-1926).

Superconductivity means zero wasted electricity; perfectly conducted energy. Typically it's been made using either super high pressure or extremely low temperatures. This makes it inefficient and expensive for practical use. But in an incremental first, researchers have managed to create a superconducting material that works at room temperature and with less pressure. If we could create this technology large-scale, it would completely revolutionize our energy grid and the way we travel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To pinpoint the microscopic mechanism for superconductivity has proven to be one of the most outstanding challenges in the physics of correlated quantum matter. Thus far, the most direct evidence for an electronic pairing mechanism is the observation of a new symmetry of the order-parameter, as done in the cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Like distinctions based on the symmetry of a locally defi�ned order-parameter, global, topological invariants allow for a sharp discrimination between states of matter that cannot be transformed into each other adiabatically. Here we propose an unconventional pairing state for the electron uid in two-dimensional oxide interfaces and establish a direct link to the emergence of nontrivial topological invariants. Topological superconductivity and Majorana edge states can then be used to detect the microscopic origin for superconductivity. In addition, we show that also the density wave states that compete with superconductivity sensitively depend on the nature of the pairing interaction. Our conclusion is based on the special role played by the spin-orbit coupling and the shape of the Fermi surface in SrTiO3/LaAlO3-interfaces and closely related systems.

This week, Dr. Shireen Adenwalla shows that condensed matter physics is brimming not only with technological promise but also with strange and beautiful phenomena. Shireen introduces Jocelyn and Bradley to superconductivity, superfluidity, and other superlatives of condensed matter physics, and she tells us how she created the website Funsize Physics to bring this cutting-edge research to a broad audience. With a little help from Samuel L. Jackson (or is it Samuel R. Jackson?), the friends discuss Shireen’s current research on chiral molecules. Finally, with her trademark wit and wisdom, Shireen offers advice for young people, and especially young women, who are embarking on careers in science.

Superconductivity is a state of matter where electrons can flow without resistance and where magnetic fields are expelled. It was discovered serendipitously more than a hundred years ago. Today, superconductors are essential components of medical imaging devices as well as high energy particles accelerators. Understanding this phenomena was one of the greatest intellectual challenges of the twentieth century. A dramatic advance was provided by the BCS (Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer) theory 45 years after. It posits that superconductivity is the result of macroscopic condensation of electron pairs, which are held together by the vibrations of the lattice. The condensate is a macroscopic quantum objects and its rigidity accounts for its striking macroscopic properties. The BCS theory was so successful that by the early 70’s superconductivity was considered a completely understood subject with the maximum achievable critical temperature having been reached experimentally around 30K. In the late 80’s this field of research took a dramatically turn with the discovery of new ceramic compounds which superconduct at temperatures as high as 160 K. These materials, cannot be described by straightforward extensions of the BCS theory. Scientists are still working on finding new explanations for these materials and we will describe the challenge they pose. The quest for room temperature superconductivity thus continues. A breakthrough in this field would have unimaginable consequences, changing the way we transmit electricity from its generation to its consumption to the way we design computers.

Superconductivity, the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity with no resistance whatsoever, has fascinated scientists since its discovery by Kammerlingh-Onnes in 1911. While much has been understood, the question of predicting which materials will become superconducting, and at what temperatures, remains one of the grand challenges of modern materials theory. This talk will outline the evolution of our understanding as the subject has progressed from its primitive beginnings through the ''bronze age'' marked by the 1986 discovery of high temperature superconductivity in copper-oxide compounds to the present-day ''iron age'' of the Fe-As based superconducting materials. The current status of the theory of the origin of superconductivity will be described.

Advances in light sources and time resolved spectroscopy have made it possible to excite specific atomic vibrations in solids and to observe the resulting changes in electronic properties. I argue that in narrow-band systems the dominant symmetry-allowed coupling between electron density and dipole active modes implies an electron density-dependent squeezing of the phonon state which provides an attractive contribution to the electron-electron interaction, independent of the sign of the bare electron-phonon coupling and with a magnitude proportional to the degree of laser-induced phonon excitation. Reasonable excitation amplitudes lead to non-negligible attractive interactions that may cause significant transient changes in electronic properties including superconductivity. The mechanism is generically applicable to a wide range of systems, offering a promising route to manipulating and controlling electronic phase behavior in novel materials.

Comedians attempt to explain superconductivity, some cosmic sources for this phenomenon, X-ray holography, as well as challenging themselves (or you!) with spelling names with elements on the periodic table.

Superconductivity, the ability of a material to carry electrical current with zero resistance, is a surprising property of nature, which man has been able to exploit in many ways, in particular, for high-performance magnets. Those are used in magnetic resonance imagers, but also in colliders and fusion reactors. In this episode we discuss the basics of superconductivity and its uses with Pierre Bauer, a superconductor engineer at ITER.
