  • haha, just don't use your hands to grab it, it's pretty cold!

  • space is cold, why not use superconductors up there? surely there's an application for them.

  • toasters...

  • @7orqu3 To use benefits of superconductivity as much as possible, the scheme must be designed for it in the beginning. For example, coil, made of superconductor, will change it's properties dramatically, semiconductor elements will not operate correctly as well, mostly because of charge carrier concentration drop, thus conductivity in this kind of conditions. And a simple replacement of onboard conducting pathways to superconductors would not hold a massive effect.

  • WHAT WUD HAPPEN IF YOU REPLACED ALLTHE PARTS OF A MOTHERBOARD WHICH CONDUCT ELECTRICITY WITH superconductor to do the same thing. but cooled the motherboard and processor, everything is cooled by liquid argon or what ever just wanted to know what wud happen ? and how cooper pairs would effect things like logic gates and the like.

  • @SU89eXa you said it much better :)

  • @asg3hb Indeed it is. The everyday definition of temperature, as a thermal oscillations of atoms, cannot be applied to space as density of matter is really low. But temperature of cosmic microwave background radiation is similar in some way to radiation of black warm body (around 2.7K). Though this kind of radiation will not affect superconductivity even in case of low-temperature superconductors.

    Space doesn't have an ambient temperature. If you're close to a star... you will receive heat from it..otherwise there is none. Thus ..by default - empty space is cold.. basically absolute zero.

  • Actually space is almost cold enough (~3 K), so there is not so much efforts needed to chill s-conductor for superconductivity. Though this effect is pretty much unstable, and disrupting under x-rays, and in strong magnetic fields.

  • @Syrophrenikan no pun intended? ;)

  • @ConnorXV im sure iv read somewhere it has to be actually colder than space.
