Investor Insight // Q1 - 2021 21 In addition, the research conveyed that a magnetic field at the transition temperature was being expelled. The study’s co-author Ashkan Salamat, who is also a physicist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas said, “As you go to higher pressures, the sample size gets smaller. That’s what makes these types of measurements really challenging.” Once studies continue and make another breakthrough, the possibilities of the future are endless. Some suggest that this would boost electric vehicles and as well as mobile phones and computers. Superconductors will also develop MRI machines, making them smaller and cheaper to use, leaving a massive impact on healthcare. This new material would help boost efficient all over the globe, taking sustainable energy sources such as wind turbines and solar panels to a whole new level. It would also improve the power of Maglev systems as well as introducing a space shuttle hyperloop. Eva Zurek, a computational chemist at the State University of New York at Buffalo commented that a lot of researchers are eager to see the work of Dias’ work, “I am sure, after this manuscript is published, many theoretical and experimental groups will jump on this problem.” Due to this discovery, we just cannot not get our hopes up about how cool the future may be. It has truly introduced a technological revolution. It is still unclear when the next discovery will take place – whether it is next year or within the next twenty years – but as the history of superconductivity has shown, the results have developed over the years and left a massive impact on our day to day lives. The next step would be to find ways to how to utilise such a technology within its room of application. We may be heading towards a “Back to the Future” society, as pointed out by Shanti Deemyad, Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Utah, “It can change your whole society… I am seeing far ahead into the future, of course, and it may not become that advanced in the next few decades but I am optimistic that before we know it, we will see it in our lifetime.”
