MOSCOW, November 7 -. RIA Novosti Russian physicist, proved the possibility of the existence of superconductors, operating at room temperature, having considered the unusual properties of one-dimensional defects that arise within them in the transition to the superconducting state, said in an article published in the journal Springer Plus.

"Previously it was thought that superconductivity is possible only in short stripes, and in the long she disappears, so the question of the creation of artificial stripes great lengths never arisen and is not compromised. This study, in contrast, says that the high-temperature superconductor should include long stripes, which can be created using nanotechnology, "- said Viktor Lakhno Institute of Mathematical problems of Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences in Pushchino, whose words the press service of the institution.

Physicists discovered the secret of the structure of Russian "rotten" superconductors

As the scientists explain, in recent years, physicists have opened or created several types of superconductors that can operate at very high temperatures, which in the best cases is only minus 70 degrees Celsius, which is already almost achieved under natural conditions. Their appearance has required a new explanation of how such structures unable to conduct current without visible loss, despite the fact that they "violate" the first foundations of the theory of superconductivity, formulated in the late 50's. 

The unusual properties of new superconductors, according Lakhno, explained today that the scientists believe that they are on the inside is not three-dimensional, as a kind of two-dimensional or one-dimensional material, which consists of special quasiparticles polarons and which behaves as a so-called "Bose -Einstein ".

It is unusual for its fluid properties, which behaves like a single giant atom "smeared" on a huge area, with specific properties has superconducting properties. The problem, according to physics, was that scientists did not believe that Bose-Einstein condensation can occur in one-dimensional or two-dimensional systems, as it prohibits the theory and calculations of Academician Ginzburg.

Scientists have accidentally discovered a way to create a "room" temperature superconductor

Lakhno not agree with this, as his calculations show that the Bose-Einstein condensate, and superconductivity can exist within the so-called stripe - dimensional deformations occurring in the crystal lattice of a substance capable of being a superconductor, the transition to the superconducting state. 

Moreover, they performed calculations show that these defects can exist in them and at room temperature, which in fact shows that the "room" is really possible to create superconductors. According Lakhno, now it's up to create such material passes from hand of theoretical physicists in the hands of practitioners - it is certain that the nanoparticles and nanomaterials in which defects in the crystal lattice will behave as desired, to create quite real.
