Superconductivity at Room Temperature ??!

There might be more to LK-99 than skeptics expected, as two research teams claim to have informally confirmed certain aspects of the superconductivity claims — albeit in preliminary testing.

As a result of the simulations, the researcher published an analysis letter in pre-print form to Arxiv, where she confirmed that the resulting material should manifest the superconduction pathways for electrons to travel through unimpeded and without any resistance.

No one has actually replicated this yet, it's just simulation testing at this point. Stupid clickbait headlines leave out the important bits.

True, there is no formal confirmation yet apart from a simulation by US lab and a so called "replication" video by Chinese, if you want to believe them. But that did not stop the stocks going crazy -

Superconductor LK-99 Breakthrough Buzz Spurs China, Korea Tech Rally

Claims about a breakthrough in superconductor technology that could revolutionize the power, transportation and chip industries have sparked surges in some Korean and Chinese stocks even as scientists remain dubious.

So much for stupid clickbait headlines.
 
This is the trending topic on X/Twitter for quite sometime now with teams all over the world trying to replicate it.

It might look like every year there is a new RTAP superconductor discovery then turns out to be a nothing burger but this seems pretty attainable. We will know soon if we actually get a RTAP superconductor.

Definitely thrilling to follow as the implications are mind blowing.
 
That levitation video will not pique much interest in general from anybody.
Great innovations can happen indeed, as they say, we need greater proof...
 
The biggest breakthrough in superconductors was the shift from using liquid helium to liquid nitrogen. The materials themselves haven't advanced much since superconductivity at higher temperatures that still require liquid nitrogen yields no benefits as far as industrializationis concerned. Unfortunately, it seems room-temperature superconductivity is going to remain the holy grail for quite a long time.
