due Jun 9 7 8 Superconductors In order to push a current of electrons through a wire, it takes effort. There is energy lost due to the fact that the material restricts the flow of electrons. What if we could remove that restriction to the flow of current? Can you imagine what our equations would do if Resistance was zero! Just look at Ohm's law: V=IR. If you solve for I, you get: I=V/R. If the resistance approached zero, then the Current could approach infinity! Superconductors are a big topic in physics research right now. Superconductors are materials that have no resistance or almost no resistance. So far, we have only been able to get materials to have this property at extremely low temperatures. One day, we might find a way to make a superconductor that works at room-temperature.. that would be an amazing breakthrough. Superconductivity has many applications, one of which is quantum locking. See the video below: ASTC Quantum Levitation Watch later Share KEVA KEVA Watch on YouTube There are many more possible applications. Here is my question for you: If it were to require a research team of 10,000 scientists on a total budget of $2,000,000,000,000 (that's 2 Trillion dollars), and a time scale of 120 years (won't be completed until you are dead).... but humanity would have a working, readily available, room-temperature superconductor.... Do you think it would be worth the investment? Should the government spend public money to fund expensive research that may not have practical results for more than a century? Respond to my question.
