New Superconducting Material Could Lead to Revolutionary Advancements [Video]

New Superconducting Material Could Lead to Revolutionary Advancements

New Superconducting Material Could, Lead to Revolutionary Advancements. 'The Independent' reports that scientists have revealed a newly-discovered material that could change the world. . The superconducting material works at both a temperature and pressure that makes it applicable in practical situations. Most notably, the new material is able to transmit electricity with no resistance. It could save up to 200 million megawatt hours currently lost via resistance. The discovery could also lead to breakthroughs in fusion technology, a process which could unlock unlimited energy. The team claims the new material could be applied to developing new types of high-speed transit and medical equipment. The discovery is detailed in a paper titled, 'Evidence of near-ambient superconductivity in a N-doped lutetium hydride.'. It was published in the journal 'Nature.'. 'The Independent' reports that the new material's nickname, "reddmatter," is a nod to a material in 'Star Trek.'. A pathway to superconducting consumer electronics, energy transfer lines, transportation, and significant improvements of magnetic confinement for fusion are now a reality, Ranga Dias, scientist and lead author, via 'The Independent'. We believe we are now at the modern superconducting era, Ranga Dias, scientist and lead author, via 'The Independent'

Egyptologists Uncover Hidden Corridor Within the Great Pyramid of Giza

Egyptologists Uncover , Hidden Corridor Within , the Great Pyramid of Giza. 'The Independent' reports that a 30-foot-long hidden corridor has been discovered near the main entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza. . On March 2, Egyptian officials said the mysterious tunnel found in the 4,500-year-old megalith could lead to further findings. . Located above the main entrance, the tunnel was detected as part of a scanning project using non-invasive infrared thermography to 'see' inside the ancient pyramid. Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the corridor was likely meant to redistribute the pyramid's massive weight. Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the corridor was likely meant to redistribute the pyramid's massive weight. We’re going to continue our scanning so we will see what we can do ... to figure out what we can find out beneath it, or just by the end of this corridor, Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, via 'The Independent'. According to an article published in 'Nature,' the discovery may yield knowledge regarding the construction of the pyramid. The discovery could also shed light on the purpose of a gabled limestone structure built just outside of the corridor. The Pharaoh Khufu, otherwise known as Cheops, who reigned around 2560 B.C., is credited with the construction of the Great Pyramid. The Pharaoh Khufu, otherwise known as Cheops, who reigned around 2560 B.C., is credited with the construction of the Great Pyramid. Towering over Giza, the pyramid stands 479 feet tall and was the tallest structure built by humans until construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889. The massive monument is also the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. . 'The Independent' reports that experts remain divided over the construction of Egypt's pyramids. New discoveries are often of great interest to both scholars and the public.

Authorities said that 1,498 thousand people were killed across ten Turkish provinces. . In neighboring Syria, authorities declared over 430 people killed and at least another 380 killed in the country's rebel-held northwest. According to natural hazards expert Dr. Steven Godby, the vulnerability of the population combined with winter conditions could make rescue efforts difficult. Unfortunately the death toll is likely to climb quickly, Dr. Steven Godby, Natural hazards expert, via 'The Independent'. The first 24-48 hours is when most people are normally rescued in this situations, but the cold weather may reduce that time. , Dr. Steven Godby, Natural hazards expert, via 'The Independent'. The challenge is further compounded by the fact that there are already large numbers of displaced people in northern Syria as a result of the civil war, Dr. Steven Godby, Natural hazards expert, via 'The Independent'. Dozens of governments around the world have already pledged their support, including rescue teams, funds or other means of aid in response to the disaster.
