Many materials do show superconductive properties at present, they operate in extreme conditions which are not easily replicable. The discovery of a material that will show superconductive properties at room temperature would revolutionise technology around us.
Researchers are moving quickly to test if a material called LK-99 really is a superconductor at room temperature and pressure. Several labs have already announced results
Room-temperature superconductors could transform technology – but the latest, much-hyped claims should be approached with caution.
Truly convenient materials that can conduct electricity perfectly have long been sought after by researchers, but their history is one of difficult experiments, theoretical puzzles and scientific controversy
Misconduct allegations are leading scientists to question the work of Ranga Dias, including his claimed discovery of a room-temperature superconductor.
