WSU alumnus Ranga Dias has been recognized as an innovator and emerging leader by Time in its 2021 Time100 Next list for the creation of the first-ever room-temperature superconductor.
Unlike ordinary metals, superconductive material has two unique properties: it has no electrical resistance and no magnetic field, Dias said.
“You can send the current without any resistance so that there’s no loss of energy,” Dias said. “This can be revolutionizing if we can make a room-temperature superconducting wire.”
This technology has seemingly endless capabilities, Dias said. Superconductivity could transform technological development, transportation, power systems and medical equipment. Essentially, anything that uses electricity could be improved by superconductivity.
