I’ve seen a few posts about it, and have googled, but I get conflicting results, and haven’t seen anything on tradmedia.

Would someone mind filling me in?

Thank you.

    Okay so batteries. When you push their abilities, they get hot. Why? They’re not superconductors.

    That heat is a problem at large scale.

    Finding a reliable superconductor isn’t impossible, but until recently finding one that can exist at ambient temperature and pressure has been impossible. Basically, preventing that heat problem has been impossible to achieve without seriously cold temps or seriously absurd pressures. Those conditions aren’t great for large scale use on earth.

    So, if this is legit, it’s a big deal. The whole nature of power supply and consumption will become less problematic.

    It is wild how many huge breakthroughs we are in the edge of. I’m not holding my breath, but this is… Huge.
