yet 95% of the prison inmates are male. There are obvious differences on the extreme ends of the spectrum between males and females and the nobel price only considers extremes to begin with.

Silicon is not valuable because it is a good conductor, in fact it is actually more like an insulator in its natural state. However, mixing the right materials into it, it becomes a very good semiconductor . So it can let current flow easily or block it effectively, making it a good basis for transistors. The problem here are the normal (usually copper) wires between transistors that cause heat to build up whenever c…
> The problem here are the normal (usually copper) wires between transistors that cause heat to build up whenever current flows through them. IIRC with the high frequencies of modern processors switching losses tend to be a larger factor than resistive losses. If you can remove the resistive losses that leaves you with a greater heat budget from switching losses which might help drive up frequency even more.
tl;dr: The only change, aside from the increased number of broken bookmarks, is that the misleading Fig. 4a in the page 7 has been splitted into Fig. 4a and 4b with different axes.

Doesn't anyone working in the physical sciences know how to record a decent video that isn't shaky, blurry, out-of-focus, or a handheld mobile phone recording of a computer screen? He's using a digital microsocope! Just press the "record" button and upload that! I can't wait for someone to successfully reproduce it, use a polaroid camera to take the photo, print it out, fax it, and have someone scan in the photocopy,…
Since I know nothing when it comes to superconductors and material science, can anyone summarize the differences between the original paper and this one? (No ChatGPT responses please.)

It's a feedback loop. Experimental results suggest new theories, which suggest new experiments to test those theories.
Well put. I'd add that theories can produce predictions, and if the predictions can be proved experimentally, all the better for the theory.

It's only a superconductor at milliamps, so we'll need another material for your high energy examples. The biggest deal would be providing a trajectory to materials science.
If it would be reliable working at milliamps, I am sure it can be put to practical use in my sci fi scenarios eventually (1000 cables with 1 milliamps each should add up to 1 amp?). Of course, unless it all just is a quirky side effect, that can never be put to practical use.

Society was very different a hundred years ago. Women's access to education amongst other things has improved severely over time, and we do have seen an increase in female Nobel laureates compared to the earlier days.
It's a matter of time.
