However, the video also stated that they have currently only verified the Meissner effect. Although this crystal exhibits diamagnetism, it is relatively weak and does not possess "zero resistance," and its overall behavior is similar to that of a semiconductor curve. The publisher believes that even if LK-99 has superconducting properties, they are only in trace amounts of superconducting impurities, unable to form a continuous superconducting path.

    I have no idea what this means but I hope it means we are getting floating crystal cities.

      Remember how the plot of Avatar 1 was nominally about unobtainium, the room temperature superconductor material that let mountains float around? James Cameron keeps winning

      Floating magnetrine ships, at least. Fingers crossed.
