LK-99: The First Room-Temperature Superconductor

We are witnessing a historic moment in science: the claim and the verification process of the first room-temperature superconductor. This material, named LK-99, is said to have zero resistance, meaning it can let electricity flow without any loss of energy, at room temperature and normal pressure. Labs around the world are trying to replicate LK-99. Two Chinese teams have already demonstrated the superconducting levitation effect of their replica. Moreover, two theoretical studies using computer simulations also support the idea that LK-99 could work. If the claim is true, we are entering a new world as if we discovered electricity. #LK99 #superconductivity #materialsci #futuretech #stemeducation
