LK-99’s creators declare it’s a superconductor at room temperature and stress
Rokas Tenys/Alamy
Current claims {that a} materials known as LK-99 conducts electrical energy completely at room temperature and stress have kicked off an unbelievable flurry of experimental exercise. There are a number of methods to check if one thing is such a superconductor, nonetheless the flurry has but to search out a lot scientific consensus. Creating pure samples of LK-99 within the lab and figuring out their high quality can be proving tough.
Not like typical conductors equivalent to steel wires, superconductors enable electrical energy to move by them with out …
