My first thought, when considering consequences of adding room-temperature #superconductors to an ongoing #scifi / #dieselpunk universe, is "it wouldn't even be an hour before some human starts trying to weaponise them".
Second thought: an hour feels optimistic.

The #paperOfTheDay for my #dailyPaperChallenge is "on the theory of superconductivity" from 1950. At that time, it was not understood which physical mechanism causes superconductivity, so Ginzburg and Landau constructed a phenomenological theory: There must be some sort of superconducting charge carriers, therefore, they introduced a "density field" for those. From experimental findings, one has that it vanishes when the material becomes too hot, it is negatively affected by magnetic fields, and it can only support a finite amount of current. Using this as input, one can make an ansatz for the laws governing the charge density field, and this produces meaningful predictions for the behaviour of #superconductors. Nowadays, the BCS theory gives a more systematic description of (certain) superconductors, but Ginzburg-Landau theory has found many applications in other fields apart from superconductivity because the construction works whenever one does not know the precise laws governing microscopic constituents, but one has information about the observed large-scale properties.

"We study #quantumfluids of light, or in other words, optical systems where light behaves like a #superfluid, which are much like…#superconductors." Quentin Glorieux, "The goal…was to see whether it's possible to push this analogy further by creating a mixture of two interacting fluids of light. Mixtures…support rich collective dynamics and offer a new platform for the study of quantum phase transitions, topological structures or even analog gravity."

Exciting news! Our team’s first patent on symmetrical microwave feeds for large ion traps is officially published. By using splitters and phase adjusters, we ensure the trap is supplied symmetrically, resulting in more stable and precise electron trapping. This innovation serves as a key foundation for quantum optics and quantum computing.
Our next goal? Implementing high-temperature superconductors like YBCO to cut energy losses, boost performance, and open up new possibilities in quantum tech. If you’re working with superconductors—or share our passion for next-gen quantum hardware—let’s connect and explore collaborations!

In the 1980s, yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) #superconductors (aka cuprates aka 123's) and iconic images of the Meissner effect moved me to become interested in hashtag#materialsscience and engineering studies and the promise of so-called room-temperature application. I would learn it was not going to be true then but perhaps soon. 🤓
