Korean Scientists Claim Superconductor Breakthrough

韩国科学家宣布实现超导突破

Scientists from South Korea are claiming to have developed a superconductor material that works at room temperature. The material, called LK-99, could revolutionize power transmission, battery life and computing.

Labs in China and the US have begun verifying the claim from South Korea. If proven, how important is this invention?

Why are superconductors so important?

韩国科学家声称已经开发出一种在室温下工作的超导体材料。这种被称为LK-99的材料可能会彻底改变电力传输、电池寿命和计算能力。

中国和美国的实验室已经开始验证韩国的说法。如果得到证实，这项发明有多重要？

为什么超导体如此重要？

以下是印度网民的评论：

semi conductor is used to making logical gates, whereas superconductor is in comparison with a conductor with less resistance which reduces wastage during transmission

半导体被用来制造逻辑门，而超导体与电阻较小的导体相比，可以减少传输过程中的损耗

mohasat01

I don't understand the comparison with a semiconductor either. A superconductor has zero resistance to the flow of electricity and would find application wherever there is current flow. Zero resistance means no loss of power during transmission.

我也不理解与半导体的比较。超导体对电流的阻力为零，只要有电流流动，就可以应用。零电阻意味着在传输过程中不会损失功率。

Palki you mentioned drawback in semiconductor is its resistance to flow of electricity at certain conditions and superconductor overcomes the resistance problem. If resistance is everything why can't we use conductors like copper in place of semiconductor? Infact we do do in semiconductor to increase its conductivity to certain extent and not in excess. Semiconductor can store information and has amplification ability that's makes it distinct. Your resistance concept seems to be out of place.

半导体的缺点是在某些条件下对电流的电阻，而超导体克服了电阻问题。如果电阻就是一切，为什么我们不能用铜之类的导体来代替半导体呢？

事实上，我们在半导体中掺杂是为了在一定程度上提高其导电性。半导体可以存储信息，并且具有放大能力，这使其与众不同。

Instead of traffic signals, the correct analogy is friction and wind resistance.

与交通信号灯不同，正确的类比是摩擦和风阻。

chandrasekharmukherjee2794

Madam Palki, Conductor and not semiconductor is used for electrical transmission. Semiconductor is used for digital logic and memory only.

用于电力传输的是导体而非半导体。半导体仅用于数字逻辑和存储器。

VishrutAnand29

Microchips/Microprocessor/Semiconductor are all same thing?
Large circuits for digital logic condensed into the size of a fingernail.. yes?

微芯片、微处理器和半导体都是一样的东西？

数字逻辑的大型电路浓缩成指甲大小，是吗

mudshovel290

@VishrutAnand29 semiconductors are used to make microchips.

半导体被用来制造微芯片。

The strength of Phalki's presentation is her research team. She can talk Biology, Chemistry, Maths, physics, sport, entertainment and politics that you wonder what did she major in? Add to that is her fluency with the english language. You hardly hear the strong hindi accent that you get from the majority of indian journalist.

帕尔基的优势在于她的研究团队。她会说生物学、化学、数学、物理、体育、娱乐和政治，你想知道她主修什么？除此之外，她的英语流利。从她口中，你几乎听不到大多数印度记者会有的印度口音。

VoltarStarman

You are funny naive....
She just read the text feeded to her. Palki is indeed just a propaganda puppet....

你太天真了。

她只是在读稿子而已。帕尔基实际上只是一个宣传木偶。

I dont think India today even has research facilities to support such invention/innovation
Not just the finance..but the brains to teach and build on exsting technology

I want the next generation Indians to not just manufacture and manage ....
But innovate and research...
Create...! Engineer things to life!

Hopefully we xan lead such reasearches in the voming decades

我认为今天的印度甚至没有支持这种发明创新的研究设施

不仅仅是资金问题，而是缺乏在现有技术基础上进行教学和建设的人才

我希望下一代印度人不仅仅是制造和管理，也要会创新和研究。

创造将事物变为现实！

希望我们能在未来几十年里领导这样的研究

Superconductors can make perpetual motors that don’t need any power. Superconductors can make levitation possible without power. Superconductors can literally make unlimitless power.

超导体可以制造不需要电力的永动机。超导体可以在没有电力的情况下使悬浮成为可能。超导体确实可以产生无限的功率。

dxd42

As superconductors normally needs ultra cold temperatures to make the material less resistive, because the physics conditions the current materials imposes, a material super conductive without low temps seems like a scam from a random university that cannot be replicated... but let's see the type of magic they've done.

超导体通常需要超低温来降低材料的电阻，当前材料所施加的物理条件，一种常温超导电材料似乎是骗局，无法模拟。不过，让我们看看他们的魔术。

To all the game enthusiasts, the biggest hurdle in fast gaming is the heat emitted by the processors and GPUs, this happens bcoz of the little resistance in the path of current of the semiconductors, when high amount of current passes through this resistance then that turns into heat (in case of LEDs it turns into light).

if these semiconductors are replaced with superconductors then there will be no heat (superconductors=zero resistance), u can eliminate fans and you can build much bigger and fast processors and GPUs without the need for thermal management.

对于所有游戏爱好者来说，游戏中最大的问题是处理器和GPU发出的热量，这是因为半导体电流路径中的小电阻，当大量电流通过这个电阻时，它就会发热（在LED的情况下，它会变成光）。

如果这些半导体被超导体取代，那么就不会发出热量（超导体=零电阻），那就不需要散热的风扇了，你可以在不需要热管理的情况下制造更大、更快的处理器和GPU。

Very well spoken. Good facts. Hope for the best for the world! Jai Hind.

说得很好。希望世界一切顺利！印度必胜

piyushbaroliya7153
She talked about zero resistance electricity with superconductor, to prevent loss of electricity, and smooth flow.

Meanwhile there are Giga-conductor people in my village, they plug wires directly to the line, to light their 100 watt Edison Bulb.

Say what you will, we are very traditional in our approaches, and refuse to change, and rebellious too, haha.

她谈到了零电阻与超导体，以防止电力损失，并顺利流动。

与此同时，在我的村里有一些超导体，他们自己用电线直接连接到电网上，点亮他们的100瓦爱迪生灯泡。

随你怎么说，我们的方法非常传统，拒绝改变，也很叛逆，哈哈。

jakobbergen7574

So heartening for Palki to give us good news and not go on complaining about China as usual.

帕尔基给我们带来了好消息，不再像往常一样天天抱怨中国，这真是令人振奋啊。

aadilansari5997

India already has superconductor. Rajnikant, was a conductor in Karnataka transport, and he was a super.

印度已经有了超导体。Rajnikant是卡纳塔克邦交通部门的一名列车员，他是一名超级列车员。

This is a big break to humanity if it actually works

如果真的奏效，这对人类来说是一个巨大的突破

Palki Maam would be the favorite teacher of all the kids had she been teaching in a school.

如果帕尔基女士在学校教书的话，她会是所有孩子心目中最好的老师。

semi conductor is required for a chip, you cannot do away with it , super conductor at room temperature may be modified to become a semiconductor and reduce power wastage that happems in a semi conductor , but its biggest usage will be in high speed rail, it can reduce costs amd make it more affordable

半导体是芯片所必需的，你不能放弃它，室温下的超导体可以被做成半导体，并减少半导体中的功率损耗，但它最大的用途将是在高速铁路中，可以降低成本，更经济实惠

ryandegracia6689

Wow, super conductor... what’s next with technology... good job South Korea

哇，超导体耶。下一个技术呢，干得好，韩国

A-yt4ef

Super-conductors will also make computers smaller, because there is no heat generation. Main frame computer may become like a pocket calculator.

有了超级导体，计算机可以造得更小，因为没有热量产生。计算机的主机可以做得像袖珍计算器一样大

yogeshdesai5999

Wow Modi ji. Under your leadership science is progressing fast.

哇，莫迪啊，在你的英明领导下，科学进步很快啊。

raghuveerdendukuri1762

Wish the best, R&D to be a continue pursuit, as long as the purpose is useful and that is environment friendly

希望一切顺利，研发是一种持续的追求，只要是有用的，对环境友好的

benanders4412

Super conductors are nothing new. But they normally only work at extremely low temperatures or extremely high ones. So they are not practical in all uses.
The question is what temperature it works as a super conductor.
How workable the material is.
How much of it can be made and for what price.
If it really works at room temperature, it would be great. But it's probably another false claim.

超导体并不是什么新鲜事。但它们通常只在极低或极高的温度下工作。因此，并非实用

问题是超导体的工作温度是多少。

这种材料的可操作性如何。

能做多少，价格是多少。

如果真的能在室温下工作，那就太好了。

sanketkhandare5288

That could be good duscovery, but its not about resistance and speed in that case we have optical fiber..
If they managed to get superconductivity at normal temperature then it can be major breakthrough for quantum computing...

这个发现太棒了。

如果能够在常温下获得超导性，那么这将是量子计算的重大突破。

thanka very much, I have learned something new today.

Super conductor and semiconductor are completely unrelated . One is in digital electronics other is in pure electrical application

超导体和半导体是完全不相关的。一个是数字电子，另一个是纯电气应用

I would be surprised if China would out of this race...

Now even China is innovating

现在连中国都在创新啊

vijithsreevalsam7979

Everything is Research and found in other countries why not in India. Reason of brain train. Just looking for India to be a production hub. The government should put more allocation on budget for research and development. W h a t IIT now doing? Yes they are our prestigious universities & education centres. Should not be a just bench and board. Should have world class research Laboratories in IIT & other institutions

一切都是在其他国家研究和发现的，为什么不是在印度。我希望印度成为一个生产中心。

政府应该增加拨款，加大对研发的投入。印度理工学院现在在做什么？是的，它是我们著名的大学和教育中心。应该在印度理工学院和其他机构设立世界级的研究实验室

Why can't INDIA make superconductor?
Oh i know, they are 20 years behind China

印度为什么不能制造超导体？

哦，我知道，他们落后中国20年了
