Attached: 1 image The first room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor may have been developed. According to the authors, the LK-99 material can be prepared in about 34 hrs with extremely basic lab equipment (a mortar & pestle, basic vacuum, and furnace). These results could be replicated within days or weeks. Superconductivtiy would be a game changer in a lot of areas. 🧵 https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008

      quantum computers could, in theory, break modern encryption techniques. If it is anything, this might actually put crypto in the ground.

      I hope not. Not only because I want this result to be true, but because of how damaging it would be for trust in science if it's another hoax or a shit result that they jumped the gun on to get publicity.
