Episode 003 - Hot Superconductors

Tim and James talk the hottest thing in indistinguishable particle statistics.

In October of 2020 physicists from USA experimentally demonstrated superconductivity in Hydrogen Sulphide at room temperature (at 267 GPa, shh). We take a look at this remarkable discovery from how it was measured to how it works and the implications for energy storage and other technologies.

Here are some links to some of the sources that were used in the creation of this episode.
