A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ok, what is the importance of a room temperature semiconductor.
Room temperature superconductor. Not semiconductor, that's something different.
With it we can build all sorts of otherwise impossible technologies.
Batterys with massive charge capacities that last weeks.
Stupidly high speed hover trains.
Electrical wires that don't heat up with use, don't waste energy, and can never electric you.
Body armour that actually repels bullets.
Probably some kind of horrific bomb.
These are some of the dumbest proposed applications I've ever seen for this. You have no idea what you're talking about.
That's not a nice thing to say. I bet they —and everyone— could learn from getting some of the myths dispelled, instead of just getting insulted.
I don't have time to write all of that out. Start over without any of these guesses as to what these materials do. It's irresponsible to say things as if they're facts, when you know nothing of the subject. Like your most recent post.
You wrote a decent response a few comments down, that's good enough. This isn't ExpertSexChange, so some people might not be experts, but I think we can collectively manage the basic stuff while treating everyone with respect. As for my most recent post, I'll admit having sent it before fully reading their sources, but probably should discuss it over there if you want?
While I appreciate that you're trying to point out factual errors in the comment you are replying to, please keep in mind Beehaw's primary principle (and only* rule) when interacting with folks in the comments: Be(e) Nice. You can correct factual errors, or just point out that a comment is wrong, without insulting the person making the comment. Please try to engage more kindly in the future. Thanks!
