Join Patrick, Liam, and Pheely as we discuss superconductors and the recent news surrounding them. We mention the controversy of the newly discovered LK99 room temperature and just what the implications are should they be proven true. We delve into the properties of superconductors and the mechanisms behind both conventional and unconventional superconductors. We wrap up the episode by telling a story about the people behind the theory describing superconductors, one of whom won the physics Nobel prize twice.
