Hyunsung TNC has developed a new theoretical framework that transcends the limits of traditional superconductivity models, an upgraded evolution of the SEC Theory, called the MEL (Modulated Electron Lattice) Theory.
The company is now accelerating advanced research to refine and apply this model toward the next generation of high- and ambient-temperature superconductors.
The MEL Theory explains that electrons inside a material do not simply flow independently.Instead, their electron density oscillates in space, forming a regular rhythmic pattern.This rhythmic modulation moves coherently with the vibrations of the atomic lattice, creating a collective state where all electrons move in harmony without interference, a condition in which electrical resistance disappears completely.
This process is known as Modulated Coherent Coupling.
The classical BCS theory describes superconductivity as the result of two electrons forming a Cooper pair, but that mechanism only applies to low temperatures, typically below 40 K.
On the other hand, the CDW (Charge Density Wave) theory explains periodic charge-density ordering, but such static arrangements have traditionally been understood to suppress superconductivity.
In contrast, the MEL Theory shows that periodic modulation of electron density does not weaken superconductivity, rather it strengthens it.
Superconductivity arises not when electrons move independently, but when they maintain a coherent phase relationship with the lattice vibrations, moving collectively as a single wave.
In the MEL framework, the behavior of electrons is expressed as:
Here, q represents the wave number of the electron-density modulation,and the corresponding wavelength λ = 2π / q is approximately three to four times longer than the atomic lattice spacing.
This means that the electron waves and lattice vibrations move together in perfect phase alignment, forming a collective rhythm that enables current to flow with zero loss.
To summarize:
BCS theory: superconductivity arises when two electrons form a bound pair.
CDW theory: static charge patterns hinder superconductivity.
MEL theory: superconductivity is enhanced when the entire electron system moves coherently with the lattice in a dynamic, rhythmic pattern.
Building upon the MEL Theory, Hyunsung TNC is pursuing research in high- and ambient-temperature superconductor design and synthesis.
The company is also developing the SuperMatics™ AI Design Platform, which integrates theoretical modeling with experimental implementation, a key step toward realizing the era of ambient-temperature superconductivity.
