LK-99's discovery, detailed in two papers from South Korea in late July, sent social media into a frenzy - but the world's scientists are far from convinced we're on the precipice of a revolution just yet.
Superconductors are materials that allow electrical current to flow with no resistance, a property that would revolutionize power grids where energy is lost in transmission as well as advance fields such as computing chips, where electrical resistance acts as a speed limit.
Last week, two papers by South Korean scientists made an extraordinary claim that sparked a social media frenzy and pushed up prices of some stocks in China and South Korea: the discovery of a practical superconductor.Superconductors are materials that allow electrical current to flow with no resistance,
