We need to know the superconductor material that scientists are currently inventing and that will see the greatest development in the future.
A superconductor is a conductor that can conduct
electricity with very low electrical resistance. This means that any conductor
that conducts electricity has some resistance. The conductor with the lowest
electrical resistance is considered the best electrical conductor. For example,
copper is an excellent conductor of electricity because it has a very low
dielectric constant, but iron is not considered an ideal conductor because it
has a high dielectric constant.
Generally, plastic and wood are a non-conductive material. This is because the resistance is very high so electricity cannot be transmitted through such materials. But metals can conduct electricity and a superconductor is a material with very low electrical resistance.
If we can create a material with this low resistivity, we can
create a superconductor that can conduct electricity at high speeds and achieve
the best performance in all kinds of electrical devices. With such
superconducting materials, the electrical losses and energy losses are very low.
So we can get as much energy as we thought. Currently, these superconducting
studies are ongoing and scientists at Rochester University in the United States
have developed a superconducting conductor called Red Matter.
Creating superconducting conductors is not a trivial task
because very low temperatures are necessary to create such conductors. This is
because when the temperature increases it affects the conductor which can
conduct electricity and hence the electrical resistance increases as the electrical
conductivity decreases. So making a superconducting conductor has been very
challenging. At present, the University of Rochester has developed this
superconducting material from hydrogen, nitrogen, and lutetium.
In general, the electrical potential of a conductor is
definitely affected as the temperature increases. Superconductors with very
high electrical conductivity can be made by lowering the electrical barrier and
temperature. The currently developed superconductor is superconducting only at
21 degrees Celsius, but this is a very low temperature.
It is not possible to use such superconductors for all types
of countries. Such superconductors can only be used in countries with low
temperatures, and when computer chips such as these are made of such
superconducting materials, it will be a huge computing breakthrough. However,
this is subject to further research.
