Scientists look with suspicion as another study claims
room-temperature superconductor
Creating a room-temperature superconductor could be life-changing.

LK-99 superconductor: Chinese researchers demonstrate
magnetic levitation as proof. Created in a four-day process
by combining lanarkite minerals and copper phosphide,
the superconductor, known as LK-99, may hold
transformative potential akin to transistors in the past.

LK-99 Superconductor: Maybe a Breakthrough,
Maybe Not So Much. Experts are pushing back
against extraordinary claims of a room-temperature
superconductor. Here's what the lab results mean
and why we need time to sort things out. CNET

Inside the DIY Race to Replicate LK-99
Experts doubt claims that LK-99 is a room-temperature
superconductor set to open up a future of levitating
trains and quantum tech. Andrew McCalip wants to
see for himself. Wired Magazibe, August 2, 2023
