SUPERCONDUCTOR BREAKTHROUGH THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD








                                                          Super:  William and Mary & Stock

  • Physicists from the College of William and Mary and South Korea's Quantum Energy Research Center have discovered what appears to be the Holy Grail of superconductors
  • It doesn't experience electrical resistance and can operate at room temperature and ambient air pressure
  • Called LK-99, it does not require extreme cold and extreme high pressure to work like current systems do
  • Experts say if this is true, the new superconductor will change the world
  • It will unlock new, highly advanced technologies, at much lower costs, in 
  1. Computers
  2. Wireless communications
  3. Transportation
  4. Healthcare
  5. Energy
  6. Fusion reactors and more
  • This new discovery has been published, but not peer reviewed as of yet by top physicists
  • There is some skepticism in scientific circles because of similar claims in the past that proved untrue
  • The new superconductor is composed of lead, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus and according to the research team allows electricity to pass through virtually unimpeded
  • If the superconductor proves to work when vetted by experts, it could be the biggest physics discovery of our times and likely merit a Nobel Prize.

  • The streaming platform is called NASA+ and will be launched sometime this summer
  • It's free and will not be interrupted by ads
  • NASA says it's space on demand and provides the Universe at your fingertips
  • It will feature content like live NASA Mission broadcasts, all things space and original videos
  • It's available through NASA iOS and Android apps on mobile devices
  • It can be accessed on desktop, mobile devices and on-demand through Apple TV, Fire TV and Roku
  • NASA is also reinvigorating its entire digital presence including its website to provide top quality digital journeys to space for viewers.

  • Honda is about to unveil a stunning electric sportscar, a blast from the past, brand-new version of the S2000, which is a surprise gift to mark its 75th anniversary in business
  • Experts expect it to get the R moniker for racing, which means it's going to have power and speed
  • Here are the expectations so far:
  1. 1 electric motor to keep the weight and price down
  2. Stunning, sleek design
  3. AWD AND RWD options
  4. Lightweight
  5. Powerful and speed
  6. Built on Honda's new e:n electric platform
  7. Highly competitive with other new electric sports cars coming out from Corvette and others
  • Honda has not released any tech details or even the debut date but this new car is expected to be a big wow.

  Surfing With No Waves Needed, Anytime of Year                                                                                Source:  Awake Surfboard Can Hit 36 MPH Sweden-based Awake has developed a powerful electric surfboard that can hit speeds of 36 mph.  It can accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in just 4 seconds.  The Ravik S 22 electric surfboard is able to surf on any body of water any time of year including on snowy winter days.  And, it doesn't need waves to surf! It provides an extreme surfing ride, developed by an award-winning surfboard company. Tech Specs The e-board is powered by a 12-kW brushless motor.  The motor has three speed settings and three throttle sensitivity modes.  It has a wireless speed control system that cuts throttle response time down to .02 seconds.  The quick response time makes it much easier for the surfer to time turns and jumps.  A 1.9-kW battery provides a ride time of 15 to 20 minutes. That version of the board is priced at $15,000. An extended
