Exploring the 1D BR-BCS Theory and the Potential of Room-Temperature Superconductivity Quantum Energy Research Institute Unveils the Mechanism Behind Superconductivity in LK-99 The Quantum Energy Research Institute has made an astonishing claim by developing a room-temperature, high-pressure superconductor known as LK-99. Their recent paper, detailing the principles behind the superconductivity phenomenon in LK-99, has been released after revisions. Central to LK-99's significance is its role as a previously speculated 1D superconductor. Within its hexagonal prism structure, electric current flows between vertically connected copper atoms without resistance. The research team, including authors Lee Seok-bae, Kim Ji-hoon, Kim Hyun-tak, Lim Sung-yeon, Ahn Soo-min, and Oh Geun-ho, has published a third revised paper on the preprint site 'arXiv.' In this paper, they explain the theoretical foundation of the room-temperature, high-pressure superconductivity in LK-99 using the &#

Parmesan cheese, Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium Uses Innovative Tech to Tackle Counterfeit Threat The battle against counterfeit Parmigiano Reggiano cheese takes a high-tech twist as the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium (PRC) trials a novel approach to protect its authenticity. This cherished Italian cheese, renowned for its role in pasta dishes and salads, has long been plagued by imitation products. Now, the consortium is leveraging microtransponder technology to outsmart the counterfeiters. A Brief History of a Culinary Icon Parmigiano Reggiano, with origins dating back to the Middle Ages, achieved the coveted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status in 1996. This recognition restricts the use of the term "parmesan" within Europe to only the genuine cheese produced in specific regions of northern Italy, including Parma and Reggio Emilia.
