The Discovery of The Century or BUST? High Temperature Superconductor | Inna Vishik and Jorge Hirsch (#335)

news! A team of scientists in South Korea has made an extraordinary
claim: they have discovered a room-temperature ambient-pressure
superconductor. This means that they have found a material that can
conduct electricity perfectly under everyday conditions. This is a
huge deal. If it's true, it could revolutionize many technologies.
We could have perfectly efficient power grids, levitating trains,
and commercially viable fusion reactors. The possibilities are
endless. But the scientific community is taking this with a grain
of salt. There have been many claims of room-temperature
superconductors in the past, and they've all turned out to be
false. So we need to be careful before we get too excited. The
researchers behind this latest claim say that they've done their
due diligence. They've repeated their experiments multiple times,
and they've had their results peer-reviewed. But until their work
is published in a peer-reviewed journal, we won't know for sure if
they're right. So tune in to this thrilling chat between
experimentalist Professor Inna Vishik of UC Davis and my colleague
Professor Jorge Hirsch, a theorist and past guest here at UCSD.
This is one is a must-watch. Jorge's previous appearance regarding
