A US company has received a key patent for a room temperature superconducting material that could see the material enter production.
The announcement by Taj Quantum in Florida of a patent for a Type II room temperature superconductor follows a hotly contested paper from researchers in Korea last week.
“We are excited to announce that we have finally been issued our patent for our Above Room Temperature Type II Superconductor Con,” said Paul Lilly, CEO of Taj Quantum.
US patent 17249094 was awarded last week to Taq Quantum and describes a type II superconductor with a perforated carbon-based material with an activating material on at least one surface. The activating material is a non polar liquid.
The resulting type II superconducting material operates at a wide range of temperatures, from about -100° F (-73° C) to about 302° F (150° C) says Taj Quantum, although it has not been through peer review or third party lab evaluation and data on the performance is not yet available. This is something the company is working on.
