As of now, room temperature superconductors are not yet a reality. Scientists are actively researching and working towards developing materials that can exhibit superconductivity at higher temperatures, but it remains a challenging goal to achieve.

Is the concept of room temperature superconductor a reality?

As of now, the concept of a room temperature superconductor is not a reality. Superconductors typically require very low temperatures to function, but researchers are actively working to develop materials that exhibit superconductivity at higher temperatures.


What is a supperconductor?

A metal is said to be a superconductor if it has some resistance at room temperature, but when it is brought down to a critical temperature; i.e. to a very low temperature such as 20 K, it loses its resistivity completely. Also, a superconductor expels out any magnetic field inside of it that it had at room temperature, and is not affected by any further field applied to it at its cooler temperature.


What makes zinc a superconductor?

a superconductor is a conductor that is at absolute 0 in temperature allowing free flow of electrons without slowing them down because of no resistance any conductor in theory can become a superconductor but has to be brought down to a very low temperature typically 0 kelvins


What is the best way to conduct electricity?

With a superconductor. Even better with a room temperature super conductor, of course you'll have to make hydrogen metal for that.


What flows indefinitely in a superconductor?

A current of electricity can flow at the same strength for an indefinitely long time in a superconductor but only for as long as the superconductor is held below its critical temperature. If its temperature were allowed to rise to its critical temperature - or higher - the material would no longer behave as a superconductor: it would acquire resistivity which would restrict the flow of current.

What is the highest critical temperature of superconductor?

133 Kelvin, about -140 Celsius. This is the critical temperature of a mercury -based superconductor. It contains copper-oxide, a common theme, I believe, in high temperature superconductors


How does a superconductor work?

A conductor of electricity is said to be a superconductor if it has some resistance at room temperature but when it is brought down to a critical temperature i.e. to a very low temperature such as -270 oC or so , it loses its resistivity completely. We have not yet found a substance that works as a superconductor at room temperature but a lot of research is on-going. The aim is to try to find metal alloys or other substances that will behave as superconductors at temperatures which are much closer to room temperature than to absolute zero. Existing known superconductors are metal alloys which have been discovered to have no electrical resistance when they are at low enough temperatures, typically close to absolute zero i.e. 0 Kelvin or about -273o C. So "superconductivity" is a property of certain substances at given temperatures, not of any substance at any temperature.


A superconductor performs best at what?

A superconductor performs best at very low temperatures, typically near absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F). This is when its electrical resistance drops to zero and it exhibits properties such as perfect conductivity and the expulsion of magnetic fields.


A superconductor performs best at?

A superconductor performs best at extremely low temperatures close to absolute zero, around -273 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the material exhibits zero electrical resistance and can conduct electricity with maximum efficiency without any energy loss.


Can you magnitize alumininum nails?

Not at room temperature, however you can make it into an electro-magnet by passing a current through it. If you cool Aluminium down to 1.2 Kelvins then it becomes a superconductor and will behave as if it's magnetic.
