After the shenanigans from a few months ago, doubt

Yeah I’ll get excited after it gets peer reviewed

[–] macarthur_park@lemmy.world 70 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s already been published. But it’s superconducting at 10 K. This is a new high temperature record, but pretty far from room temperature.

Yeah the headline makes you think it's even within "normal" temperatures, and then you see that it's like 10°C ~~below~~ above Absolute Zero.

Nitpicky but it's above absolute zero

[–] CheezyWeezle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even if it was somehow 10° below absolute zero, it would still be 10° above absolute zero

I thought negative Kelvin were sometimes used to describe very very high temperatures but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the downvotes y'all, enjoy being wrong:

" Negative absolute temperatures (or negative Kelvin temperatures) are hotter than all positive temperatures - even hotter than infinite temperature."

Yeah what happened to that one out of South Korea?

I forgot about that one.
