LK-99: Mounting evidence suggests material is not a superconductor

Just weeks after researchers claimed {that a} materials known as LK-99 is the world’s first room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor proof on the contrary has began to pile up. Superconductors conduct electrical energy completely, however research on LK-99 carried out at spectacular velocity from a number of laboratories dispute that the fabric has this property.

The seek for superconductors has lengthy captured numerous consideration and curiosity. Because electrical energy can go by way of them with out shedding vitality, they may enormously enhance the effectivity of the ability grid, result in new …
