  4. 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.

  17. There isn’t enough #power in the grid to supply the demand for data centers. That’s why #Microsoft is turning to high-temperature #superconductors as a potential replacement for copper wiring to improve energy efficiency. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-data-cent...

  18. 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.

  22. Superconductors in data centers, backed by Microsoft's VEIR? This could be a massive leap for energy efficiency and processing power, especially with AI demands skyrocketing.

    Will this tech finally help us cool the internet, or just make our data centers run *even faster* before they melt?

    "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."
