Hopes fade for ‘room temperature superconductor’ LK-99, but quantum zero-resistance research continues
- Written by: Michael Fuhrer, Professor of Physics, Monash University
Hyun-Tak KimThe past few weeks have seen a huge surge of interest among scientists and the public in a material called LK-99 after it was claimed to be a superconductor at room temperature and ambient pressure.
LK-99 garnered attention after South Korean researchers posted twopapers about it on arXiv, a non-peer-reviewed repository for scientific...
