LK-99 May Not Be a Room-Temperature Superconductor, but What if It Were? For a few weeks, we had a taste of what it would be like if people cared about science as much as baseball.

The LK-99 ‘superconductor’ went viral — here’s what the experts think A screenshot of a video showing LK-99 partially levitating. A group of researchers who developed the material say it’s evidence that LK-99 is the world’s first room temperature superconductor. Experts are skeptical. | Image: A screenshot taken of a video uploaded to ScienceCast by Hyun-Tak KimIf LK-99 is the real deal, it could be a game-change…

LK-99 Is the Ambient Superconductor of the Summer Social media users are excited about what would be a breakthrough in solid state physics, but many experts in the field are cautiously skeptical.
