New Superconductor World Record Surpasses 250K
myrrdyn writes to tell us that a new superconductivity record high of 254 Kelvin (-19C, -2F) has been recorded. According to the article this is the first time a superconductive state has been observed at a temperature comparable to a household freezer. "This achievement was accomplished by combining two previously successful structure types: the upper part of a 9212/2212C and the lower part of a 1223. The chemical elements remain the same as those used in the 242K material announced in May 2009. The host compound has the formula (Tl4Ba)Ba2Ca2Cu7Oy and is believed to attain 254K superconductivity when a 9223 structure forms"
After the proletarian revolt, all the women kill most of the men in their sleep. They go off and create the solar/hydrogen economy that the grandparent mentioned, creating a solar Amazonian paradise. Where are the men that are left? Well, they keep small villages of them where the men sit around and drink beer and watch Spike TV all day. Then when the women are ready to mate, they have a champion from each village fight one another to the death. Then said champion mates with all the Amazons that want to have a child. After which, he is torn from limb from limb in a Baccean orgy - still alive and conscious.
For pleasure of course, the women are really lesbians and the men aren't allowed to watch.
See what your proletarian revolt leads to! Female happiness!
It's NOT me! It's the meds! I'm on 1000mg of Fukitol.
What is "the upper part of a 9212/2212C and the lower part of a 1223?" And I don't believe there's an element known as Oy.
When combined with the element Vey, it forms Exasperatium.

"254K should be warm enough for anyone"
I want one that works at 640 K, so I can use it to replace the heating element in my oven. Because superconductors make everything more efficient.
