A Few Watts of Continuous Terahertz Lasers Can Enable Room-temperature Superconductors | NextBigFuture.com

Diamond anvils can make superconductors at or near room temperature in the lab. Now a path to useful room-temperature superconductors has been briefly shown using 10 THz lasers. A few watts of Continuous 10 Thz lasers hitting K3C60 (a fullerene), can make the material behave as a room temperature superconductor. What still must be done is make the 10THz lasers continuous or have 100 million or a billion pulses per second. This seems like a doable way to make useful room temperature superconductors.
