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. 🧵

    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.
