For the first time in the world, we succeeded in synthesizing the room-temperature superconductor (T(C) >= 400K, 127C) working at ambient pressure with a modified lead-apatite (LK-99) structure. The superconductivity of LK-99 is proved with the Critical temperature (T(C)), Zero-resistivity, Critical current (I(C)), Critical magnetic field (H(C)), and the Meissner effect. The superconductivity of LK-99 originates from minute structural distortion by a slight volume shrinkage (0.48 %), not by external factors such as temperature and pressure. The shrinkage is caused by Cu$^{2+}$ substitution of Pb$^{2+}$(2) ions in the insulating network of Pb(2)-phosphate and it generates the stress. It concurrently transfers to Pb(1) of the cylindrical column resulting in distortion of the cylindrical column interface, which creates superconducting quantum wells (SQWs) in the interface. The heat capacity results indicated that the new model is suitable for explaining the superconductivity of LK-99. The unique structure of LK-99 that allows the minute distorted structure to be maintained in the interfaces is the most important factor that LK-99 maintains and exhibits superconductivity at room temperatures and ambient pressure.

Completely Automated, AI-Powered Newsletter: Top Headlines in Politics, Events, Technology, and Business

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to announce my newest project - an entirely automated Top Headlines Newsletter, powered by GPT-4. Top news that is picked and written entirely by AI is delivered to your inbox every morning at 9 AM PST.

Our system is** fully automated**, taking care of everything from selecting topics to sending the newsletter. This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.

Our newsletter is integrated with our site, and all stories use 2 left, 2 center, and 2 right wing sources (characterized by AllSidesMedia).

I truly think that AI can revolutionize how we consume news, from mitigating polarization, stopping misinformation spread, and minimizing bias. Please let me know your opinions below!

Bizarre ‘mind-controlling’ parasitic worm lacks genes found in every known animal: Our world is full of bizarre and intriguing creatures. One of the strangest, though, is the hairworm, a parasitic worm known as a “mind control worm” in some circles. These parasitic worms are found all over the world, and they look similar to thin strands of spaghetti, usually measuring a couple of inches long. However, their bodies and genes hint at the parasitic lifestyle that they live.

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is important to sustain nitrogen fertility of paddy soil and rice yield, while could be affected by nitrogen fertilization. Iron-reducing bacteria, Anaeromyxobacter and Geobacter, are newly found diazotrophic bacteria predominant in paddy soil. Experimental field of this study is a long-term (35 years) nitrogen fertilized (6.0 g N/m2/year) and unfertilized paddy field, where ca. 70% of rice yield was obtained yearly in nitrogen unfertilized plot (443 ± 37 g/m2) compared to fertilized plot (642 ± 64 g/m2). Effects of long-term nitrogen fertilization/unfertilization on soil properties related to BNF were investigated with special reference to diazotrophic iron-reducing bacteria. Soil chemical/biochemical properties, soil nitrogen-fixing activity, and community composition of diazotrophic bacteria were similar between nitrogen fertilized and unfertilized plot soils. In both plot soils, Anaeromyxobacter and Geobacter were the most predominant diazotrophs. Their nifD transcripts were detected at similar level, while those of other general diazotrophs were under detection limit. It was concluded that long-term use/unuse of nitrogen fertilizer in this field did not affect the predominance and nitrogen-fixing activity of diazotrophic iron-reducing bacteria, composition of other general diazotrophs, and the resulting soil nitrogen-fixing activity. BNF, primarily driven by diazotrophic iron-reducing bacteria, might significantly contribute to sustain soil nitrogen fertility and rice yield in both plot soils. Appropriate soil management to maintain BNF, including diazotrophic iron-reducing bacteria, will be important for sustainable soil nitrogen fertility and rice production.
