A potential new supermaterial isn’t so super after all, but the dream of a room-temperature superconductor is still very much alive.
LK-99 was a promise for a better tomorrow, but Korea University is now investigating the circumstances around the publications that revealed the superconductor.
Researchers at the National Ignition Facility announced that they had achieved net energy gain in a fusion reaction. It could provide us with an unlimited source of green and safe energy.
If confirmed, such a discovery could revolutionize the energy sector, address climate change and significantly reduce energy waste and costs.
The University of Rochester will examine the work of Ranga Dias, who was an author of a materials science paper unrelated to his superconductor research that was retracted on Tuesday.
