LK-99 Superconductor Breakthrough - Why it MATTERS!

I will wait and see until it is confirmed. Edit: Now I bring my own point of view. What was a red flag for me was the claim that the material could be built with simple minerals and simple tools. It seemed too easy for a problem that universities around the world have been grappling with for decades.

One of the team’s lead researchers told Korean agency Yonhap on Friday.“Professor Kwon arbitrarily published [the papers] in the archive without the permission of other authors,” said Sukbae Lee, one of the scientists. Another member of the team, Dr Hyun-Tak Kim, was quoted as saying, “the two papers have many flaws and were published without permission.”

The LK-99 stuff you are talking about is essentially a ceramic. Even IF superconducting at high temperatures it would about as useless for practical applications as the cuprate material that "erupted" from the Swiss research labs back in 1987. Such materials CANNOT be fabricated into wires or other practical shapes with any ease - 30 years of materials research have been thrown into making that particular ceramic into something marketable. So far, the penetration of LN2 based superconducting tape into the market is about 1%, as it is just not worth the bother. Besides the engineering issues, which eliminate 90% of the potential applications right away for this sort of RTS, with a few quirky examples, quantum computer devices have no working principle that depends on the superconducting state. That you see cryogenic baths for the experimental quantum computers these day has everything to do with reducing noise, and not using special gate functions. regards, DKB

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan I'll await confirmation of the results from other teams. If they do... holly cow! If not, this is just another bout of hubris.

When I was in High School around 1999, I took a class called Principles of Technology. I can still remember Mr. John Thomas at Delcastle Tech HS saying that if any of us were able to invent a room temperature superconductor, they would be instantly famous. I never imagined it would be a potential reality in my lifetime. Edits - found my old yearbook and the Teacher's name. Thanks for all the likes! 👍

Doh , this is so bad Thunderfoot found it , apologize to your viewers now or be damned !

The other thing missing in the scientific data was the current carrying capacity with just normal cooling, say at 273 K, with just water cooling... the curve already had a huge slope, so even a little cooling might do a lot. Amazing video... the explanations were crystal clear.

A video by Thunderf00t came out disputing your claims.

Just watched Thunderfoot's video. A bit more realistic...

As an electrical engineer I’ve followed this topic since 1991 when Dr Paul Chu at the University of Houston was the premier researcher. The trouble with all super conducting “breakthroughs” is making the material into current carrying conductors. They’re made from rare and exotic materials and are fragile to handle. Nobody has been able to do more than make a small sample that levitates a magnet. It’s an interesting topic, but the path to large scale practical applications such as power transmission, in motors, etc where the major losses occur isn’t on the horizon

I’d like to remind everyone that Pons and Fleischmann were very open with their methods, and even directly helped other labs to set up their cold fusion experiments. None of them were able to replicate the results. We’ve been here before.

Just came here due to thunderfoots video 😅, man he made you look ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣

Thunderfoot just absolutely ravaged this man. 😂

I think Thunderf00t did a good job busting this video.

if this is true, then we can expect to see a whole bunch of new recipes for room temp superconductors, not just this one.

I work in the semi-conductor industry, and I can see many applications (and hurdles) for improving our current processors and memory chips. My late father worked for Philips developing PET, CT and later MRI scanners, he would have loved this!
