New Superconducting Material Could Lead to Revolutionary Advancements

New Superconducting Material Could, Lead to Revolutionary Advancements.

'The Independent' reports that scientists have revealed a newly-discovered material that could change the world.

.

The superconducting material works at both a temperature and pressure that makes it applicable in practical situations.

Most notably, the new material is able to transmit electricity with no resistance.

It could save up to 200 million megawatt hours currently lost via resistance.

The discovery could also lead to breakthroughs in fusion technology, a process which could unlock unlimited energy.

The team claims the new material could be applied to developing new types of high-speed transit and medical equipment.

The discovery is detailed in a paper titled, 'Evidence of near-ambient superconductivity in a N-doped lutetium hydride.'.

It was published in the journal 'Nature.'.

'The Independent' reports that the new material's nickname, "reddmatter," is a nod to a material in 'Star Trek.'.

A pathway to superconducting consumer electronics, energy transfer lines, transportation, and significant improvements of magnetic confinement for fusion are now a reality, Ranga Dias, scientist and lead author, via 'The Independent'.
