SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a new theory of superconductivity that proposes a 'standing wave model' as a novel approach to understanding superconductivity and designing new superconductors. Despite its intriguing premise, the theory lacks citations and has not been published, leading to skepticism within the community regarding its validity. The absence of peer-reviewed support raises doubts about its practicality and relevance in the field of superconductivity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superconductivity principles
  • Familiarity with theoretical physics concepts
  • Knowledge of peer review and academic publishing processes
  • Awareness of existing superconductivity models
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the 'standing wave model' in the context of superconductivity
  • Explore existing theories of superconductivity for comparison
  • Investigate the peer review process and its importance in scientific validation
  • Examine recent publications on superconductors to identify trends and advancements
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, materials scientists, and researchers interested in superconductivity and theoretical models in physics.

A general question for those who may have background in superconductivity. Curious to know if the following theory has any legs

Unpublished and zero cites? Not promising.
 
It's title makes me very intrigued as it's counterintuitive. Is this an idea that is even realizable?

That's a different paper.
 
The premise of the new theory is described in the published paper, where it is described that a 'standing wave model provides a new direction for the understanding of superconductivity and for the design of new superconductors.' No citations to it though, so not sure if there's any validity.
 
The community has already passed judgment on it by a lack of citations of citations of either paper and the lack of publication of one of the two. It is not worth my time to see if there are any nuggets of gold in them.
