"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Room-temperature superconductors would revolutionize nearly every technology on Earth, but the path ...

But the hunt for a superconductor—that is, a material that can conduct electricity without resistance—that can operate at room temperature is nothing new. A Dutch physicist discovered the phenomenon ...

LK99 is the material that South Korean researchers claimed was a room temperature superconductor. The patents and the original papers described superconducting low level electrical resistance for thin ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

After a raucous year of supposed breakthroughs in superconducting physics, 2023 is looking like it’s going to end with a whimper. This summer, LK-99 was the room-temperature superconductor du jour.

The main researchers working on LK99-like room temperature and room pressure superconductors are in China and South Korea. There have been reports that the China researchers have successfully ...

What is claimed is that the difference from plain HOPG is the presence of parallel linear defects that result from the cleaving process, a defect line in which the authors speculate that the strain ...

If you’re someone who loves an internet hype cycle, good news: There’s a new group of scientists who claim to have discovered a near-room-temperature superconductor. Yes, again. People on X (formerly ...

As another person who knows next to nothing about materials science, why isn't superconductivity tested for by just measuring the resistance when running a current through the material, rather than ...
