Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences responded to 21 ℃ room temperature superconductivity: let the bullet fly for a while
CTOnews.com, March 9 (Xinhua)-- the Dias team at the University of Rochester recently announced that they have discovered a near-atmospheric pressure room temperature superconductor, a ternary phase of hydrogen, nitrogen and lutetium. The research team believes that it can achieve room temperature superconductivity of about 294K (that is, about 21 ℃) at about 10kbar, or 1GPa, or about 10,000 atmospheric pressure.
Today, the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published the title "21 ℃ room temperature superconductivity is really coming?" The article "Let the bullet fly for a while" said: "judging from the article, this work is undoubtedly a breakthrough, and the relevant evidence is very sufficient. If it can be repeated, we may be able to issue a Nobel Prize in the future. However, after all, the study of physics is not the same opinion, and any scientific research should be able to withstand verification, and this is no exception. This work is bound to be repeated by various research groups in the industry. If it is repeated many times, it will be an epoch-making work to determine the correctness of the results. We will have the strength to predict this year's Nobel Prize. "
The article also said that this work claims to be room temperature superconductivity in the near environment, and the highest pressure of Tc is 1Gpa, about 10,000 atmospheres. Although it is still very large, it is much smaller than the previous 2.7 million atmospheres, and it is much less difficult to repeat. It is believed that many research groups have already begun to repeat experiments.
CTOnews.com previously reported that Dr. Dias said in an interview that he was very confident that the findings had passed the review. "first of all, this work has been repeated several times in our University of Rochester laboratory and other laboratories, with third-party observations and independent work verification; second, our paper has been peer-reviewed and meets the strict standards of the publication." Finally, we resubmitted the 2020 paper for Nature's re-consideration because the questions raised by Nature's editors at the time had no impact on the quality of the experimental data or our conclusions. We also have full confidence in the quality of our work and experiments in 2020. "
