🧵 Post 2 / 3 — Removing Hand-Waving
🌀 Where the hand-waving usually starts
In many explanations we’re told: • “electrons form clouds”
• “bonds form by overlap”
• “Cooper pairs move without resistance”
All true — but often mechanically vague.
Using explicit phase, boundary, and flux constraints, many topics become clearer without contradicting known physics: electron orbitals, bonding (covalent/ionic/metallic), reaction selectivity, and even superconductivity (Cooper pairs, flux exclusion).
Probability remains — but it’s no longer doing all the explanatory work.

Room temperature superconductivity.

MATTG is Magic Angle Twisted Tri-layer Graphene.

This stuff actually exists, and is measured and explained in scientific papers.

Fortunately, MIT published an explainer that doesn't hurt your head so much. (It can't yet support a faster-than-sound passenger train...)

The cool picture explainer is in the description.

MIT researchers observed clear signatures of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG).

The image illustrates pairs of superconducting electrons (yellow spheres) traveling through MATTG, as the team's new method (represented by magnifying glass) probes the material's unconventional superconducting gap (represented by the V-shaped beam).

A team of three wins the Nobel Prize .. and two of them are immigrants to the USA. Funny how that works. #Superconductivity #QuantumTunnelling

Material #Science As Gateway Drug Dept : This will absolutely yield advances in engineering purpose built topologies and #Metamaterials in applications. Those applications span a wide range of previously out of reach technical requirements in areas like #QuantumComputing and #Superconductivity. It’s a big deal. Probably not always simple tho

#Nobel laureate Leon Cooper (1930 - 2024) in his office at Brown University in 1967. He was a #physicist who created the theory of how #superconductivity works. I finally identified the #calculator on his desk. It is a Smith Corona Marchant. A rebadged German made Diehl Transmatic S. It is electro-mechanical.

In 1956 #physicist Leon Cooper published a theory of how #superconductivity works. The electrons in a conductor become bound together to form Cooper pairs. This is the second, hand written, draft of his paper. #manuscript #quantum

The first page of a manuscript describing the mechanism of superconductivity. It is partially typed, but mostly handwritten. There are a few words crossed off and others inserted.

Researchers from the Paihau-Robinson Research Institute, part of Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington, will soon have an experiment on-board the ISS - a powerful superconducting electromagnet that could form the basis of next-gen electric propulsion. Thrilled that my first ever article for @IEEESpectrum is about some very cool NZ science

…so what is it, what does all this represent ? Technical breakthroughs in areas like room temperature #SuperConductivity and #Solar cell efficiencies have the power to reshape our world. Now it’s becoming clear there is something here with us demonstrating technology that leaps well beyond our own. They will have successfully run many of the gauntlets we face to achieve that. We should at the least be paying attention
