Note "As the war on Gaza spans a second year, we continue our conversation with the acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. His new book, The Message - is based in part on his own visit last year to Israel and the occupied West Bank, where he says he saw a system of segregation and oppression reminiscent of Jim Crow in the United States. "It was revelatory," says Coates and. "I don't think the average American has a real sense of what we’re doing over there — and I emphasize 'what we are doing' because it's not possible without American support.

The model which can guide us in this endeavor is the communication theory model of transmitting symbols made of electrically charged carriers across a noisy communication channel.

kT is about 26 meV for T = 20 Celsius. As Heisenberg used spectral lines' energies as inspiration for his 1925 matrix mechanics, we can use electromagnetic waves to probe whether the bandgap is narrow or not by the re-emitted electromagnetic waves.

As we are looking for materials which satisfy the criteria to generate charged carriers via thermal energies, we can combine chemistry-lab-on-a-chip technology with phosphorescence screening to automate and/or quickly test various molal ratios and preparation methods in a highly parallel manner akin to what the genome-sequencing industry has done.

A narrow bandgap can also be made by substitution of ferromagnetic elements with nearly identical atomic radii. In this case, iron and nickel are ferromagnetic elements separated by only two atomic numbers.

Iron zirconide FeZr2 and nickel zirconide NiZr2 can have nearly identical crystalline structures as the mole-fraction x of Fe1-xNixZr2 transitions from FeZr2 to NiZr2. The unconventional (in an environment rich in ferromagnetic metal atoms, ferromagnetism usually destroys superconductivity) superconductivity's appearing surrounding the mole-fraction x in Fe1-xNixZr2 with x = 0.5 from 0.4 onward to about 0.8 includes the range where the crystalline lattice constant 'a(Å)' and 'c(Å)' of FeZr2 and NiZr2 have the conduction and valence band squished together to achieve high-density-of-states near Fermi energy is probably conducive to superconductivity. This student-run experimental project proves that changing the interatomic distances (and thereby the probability of electrons' orbital switching between atoms) can bring about superconductivity.

We want long-range order to have the periodicity to get Bloch waves and yet at the same time short interatomic distance to allow the transfer of electrons between neighboring atoms (via orbital switching cf. Liu, Jerry Z. PhD, "Unified Theory of Low and High-Temperature Superconductivity," ZJL@CS.Stanford.EDU, Stanford, California) to effect electrical conductance.

It was why I was eyeing graphene with its long-range order with its Wigner-Seitz cells being able to accept osculating atoms with their strong interaction with the neighboring carbon atoms. The carbon-carbon graphene bonds function as if they are electrically conducting wires/bridges (breaking over a long distance the rounded symmetry of the electrical field surrounding the atom under the influence of a voltage; for example, a europium atom/ion can be electrically coupled to a farther-away-than-the-carbon-atoms oxygen atom/ion via exchanging electrons with the nearby-perimeter carbon-carbon -ene bonds) connecting far-apart atoms forming the high-density-of-states near-flat filaments in the dispersion diagram.

Europium atom snugly fits the hexagonal space in the middle of the carbon atoms forming a benzene-like ring. Calcium and oxygen atoms can also fit snugly into the space.

Using cobalt which lies between iron and nickel in the periodic table may expand the area of superconductivity. Weak magnetic materials (e.g. copper, magnesium, or scandium which is the least magnetic element) may allow stronger superconductivity by weakening the ferromagnetic influence around, which suppresses superconductivity but may be required for imposing long-range order. Using a less magnetic materials with long-range order such as graphene can trigger superconductivity if the interatomic distance is varied in a "magic angle" moivre lattice pattern for example to make more patterns of interatomic distances such as in twisted stacked graphene layers of "twistronics."

The key to room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductivity is a NARROW bandgap (e.g. achievable via inversion of conduction and valence bands allowing their high-density-of-states on their band edges to nearly but not merge to make nearly flat, i.e. nearly same-energy, filaments of allowed electron quantum states on the energy dispersion diagram plotting energy E v. wave_number) and nearly identical lattice constant in two different crystalline structures leading to the bandgap being on the order of kT.

Over a year on "Investigating war crimes in Gaza - Al Jazeera Investigations" ...

How can anybody really have a true opinion on events in Gaza 15+ months ago - without recourse to the information in these videos above, given the very deeply partisan nature of U$A's Main Stream Media?!!

These stunning military “successes,” its author Barak Ravid notes, include the bombing of Yemen, the assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and the pager attack against Lebanon.

"The same author recently went viral for an article that claimed that Israeli attacks against Hezbollah are “not intended to lead to war, but are an attempt to reach ‘de-escalation through escalation.'” Many users on social media mocked Ravid for this bizarre, Orwellian reasoning - but what almost everybody missed is that Barak Ravid is an Israeli spy or at least he was until recently.Ravid is a former analyst with Israeli spying agency Unit 8200 & as recently as last year, was still a reservist with the IDF.

"Unit 8200, is Israel’s largest & perhaps most controversial spying organization. It has been responsible for many high-profile espionage & terror operations, including recent pager attack that injured thousands of Lebanese civilians. As this investigation will reveal, Ravid is far from the only Israeli ex-spook working at top US media outlets, working hard to manufacture Western support for his country’s actions." WTF?!

"Towers of Ivory & Steel" Jewish Scholar Says Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom"!

And note "Israeli scholar Maya Wind’s new book - 'Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom'.. documents how Israeli universities directly constrain Palestinian rights by supporting & even developing the policies of occupation and apartheid used by the Israeli state.“In the West, Israeli universities are considered bastions of pluralism and democracy. But in fact … they are a central pillar of the Israeli regime's of oppression against Palestinians,” says Wind. She also discusses Israel’s “scholasticide", in Gaza - the "intentional destruction of Palestinian education” & the movement of conscientious objectors to Israel’s mandatory conscription, in which she took part when she refused to enlist in the army at age 18 and served 40 days in a military prison."

As poor Professor Steven Pinker says he's in a "state of agonized ambivalence" about Israel starving 2 million Palestinians and burning hospital patients to death. "Venomous" students protesting this outside his Ivory Tower leave him "stunned" & so the solution is he says, that they all need to be re-educated!!!

Silver selenide also has a narrow bandgap of 0.15eV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver(I)_selenide (and multiple phases with a transition temperature at 130C) while a graphene-like structure in the form of various diameter carbon nanotubes has two allotrope with different conductivity properties: one insulating and the other being a semimetal with osculating conduction and valence bands at a cusp structure. These are all narrow-gap semiconductor/semimetal candidates.

Bandgap and the relations to the Fermi energy can be manipulated by quite a few different methods: laser light, magnetic fields, pressure, temperature, electric voltages, doping, etc.

Tin is a topological insulator with the gray-tin and white-tin transition at 13.2C (room temperature) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_insulator

The white-tin surface layer was reportedly superconducting.

This single chemical element in PURE form has a narrow bandgap for its gray-tin phase of 0.08eV which is close to the thermal energy available near room temperature of 0.026eV. The inversion of the bands can thus occur in the energy levels near high density of states allowing the white-tin to have a high number of electrons to conduct electricity.

For the random thermal motions of molecules and atoms to link up the top of the valence band to the bottom of the conduction band nearing inversion, the band edges should be within a few kT of each other's high-density-of-state filaments. k is Boltzmann's Constant and T is absolute temperature in Kelvins.

Last year saw the discovery of forms of superconductivity: https://www.wired.com/story/new-superconductive-materials-have-just-been-discovered/

The key to achieve room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductivity is the inversion of the conduction and valence band structure. When the two bands' edges are at nearly the same energy level, They can merge their high density of states near the lower edge of the conduction band with the same near the upper edge of the valence band to FORM very nearly flat filaments in the dispersion diagram plotting electrons' energy v. momentum.

These near-flat filaments allow superconductivity because electrons can bunch up together in them to exchange energy with each other should some of them experience a collision. The partner(s) of the collided electron takes up the momentum to replace the collided electron in the near-flat filament.

Inversion of band structure as the conduction band and valence band nearly merge is the key to generating superconductivity.

Ferromagnets can have very hot Curie temperatures, well above room temperature so the mass-coherent action of electrons is likely possible at room temperature. Two different atomic lattices being close together but with different band structures can create the inversion of band structure conducive to high density of states in the near-flat bands.

As electronic band structure is UNIVERSAL in atomic or molecular lattices, there are MYRIAD possibilities for the inversion of band structure as we pair different band structures to create near-flat filaments. Then we just need to almost jam-pack these filaments to create superconductivity. We can't have them fully packed because the electrons can't change momenta to conduct electricity. We need them to be heavily populated so that there are many partners for the collided electron to exchange momentum with.
