Researchers at a Japanese research institute and the Tokyo university say a new material to have developed that electrical impulses without the loss might conduct. The material can for energy transmission to be used.
According to the estimates that the researchers cite, the energy that is lost during the transport of electricity over ten percent of all generated electricity amounts. Scientists at the Japanese RIKEN research institute, in collaboration with researchers from the university of Tokyo, say a material to have developed that energy transport without loss. The material was demonstrated in ‘proof of concept’hardware, that’s still far below zero degrees Celsius must be kept.
In the future, the material under higher temperatures may function, but still require the materials to very low temperatures. The developed material consists of semiconductors which at low temperatures the quantum-mechanical version of the Hall-effect. The Hall effect allows for lossless transport of electrical energy, but normally there are large magnets with strong magnetic fields. For the kwantumvariant is a magnetic field that is inherent to the semiconductor material used is sufficient for the Hall effect to cause.
When the semiconductor chip without extreme cooling lossless electricity transport, would be material in the future can be used to power transport of a power plant to transformer stations etc..
