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.
Superconductivity would be a game changer in a lot of areas. 🧵

Hmm apparently theres a 3rd paper besides the 2 on arxiv thats much more detailed and is peered reviewed but its in korean and not yet translated
Guess we'll find out soon enough
Either a giant breakthrough or a giant hoax either way its gonna be interesting
And if this doesn't pan out we still have aliens
No you see, the aliens gave us the superconductor tech
