Back in around 1996 I went to a tennis camp with this guy's son from UH. I had just done some kind of high school report on superconductors and thought is was all so cool. The son didn't seem to understand at all how big of a deal his dad was.

Did you get this off some random person's blog or is there a link to it?
I would take this with a grain of salt for now. But if true, from what ive read, sounds like this would be a legitimate world altering moment

Keep reading. Not the same team or material.
But yes, others have claimed this and it didn't pan out.

So what should I potentially put money in?

It doesn't look like this SK team patented anything, they just published a paper with their findings and given how easy it would be to replicate, apparently, physicists around the world are trying to do so right now.

Well if they didn’t “black box” how this works and give no fricks about profiting from it, it should be fairly easy to prove whether it works.

Thanks.
But no thanks.

Apparently it should be very easy to replicate.
We will know within a couple of weeks if its hogwash

Which is a massive change from most “groundbreaking research” where they don’t want you to look at the data they used yet believe it completely.

For the first time in the world, we succeeded in synthesizing the room-temperature superconductor (Tc=400 K, 127°C) working at ambient pressure with a modified lead-apatite (LK-99) structure. The superconductivity of LK-99 is proved with the Critical temperature (Tc), Zero-resistivity, Critical current (Ic), Critical magnetic field (Hc), and the Meissner effect. The superconductivity of LK-99 originates from minute structural distortion by a slight volume shrinkage (0.48 %), not by external factors such as temperature and pressure. The shrinkage is caused by Cu2+ substitution of Pb2+(2) ions in the insulating network of Pb(2)-phosphate and it generates the stress. It concurrently transfers to Pb(1) of the cylindrical column resulting in distortion of the cylindrical column interface, which creates superconducting quantum wells (SQWs) in the interface. The heat capacity results indicated that the new model is suitable for explaining the superconductivity of LK-99. The unique structure of LK-99 that allows the minute distorted structure to be maintained in the interfaces is the most important factor that LK-99 maintains and exhibits superconductivity at room temperatures and ambient pressure.
Which long lost language is this shite written in?

Thanks for posting that pic. Really cleared this all up for me.

Science and physics in part. Not sure about the rest.
K = Kelvin temperature (C + 273 I believe).
Pb = lead
Cu = Copper
K = Kelvin temperature (C + 273 I believe).
Pb = lead

When a material gets to the point of superconducting it has a zero electrical resistance thus able to transfer electricity at virtually no loss of energy. In the past in order to get to a superconducting state, temperatures would have to be reduced to near absolute zero. There is a huge loss of energy under current conditions.

I downloaded the PDF and it's all clear now...

They figured out how to use a commercially available high temperature super conductor tape to make the most powerful magnet dramatically smaller.

It was a moment three years in the making, based on intensive research and design work: On Sept. 5, for the first time, a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet was ramped up to a field strength of 20 tesla, the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth. That successful demonstration helps resolve the greatest uncertainty in the quest to build the world’s first fusion power plant that can produce more power than it consumes, according to the project’s leaders at MIT and startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS).

What does it tell you? I just want to see if you came to the same conclusion as me. Use many small words
Badass things happen when you have superconductivity. Easiest example would be bullet trains. Imagine a train, but it literally floats on air and can go hundereds of miles per hour without having to fight any friction. Similar to how to two polar same magnets don't want to touch each other, but with superconductity you can control how it floats there, not just oppose the attraction. Just one of many examples.
We have done this and it all works, you just can't ride many trains at negative 250 degrees C. Slowly reasearch has reached superconductivity at higher and higher temperatures (still well below freezing), but everything changes when we can superconduct at room temperature.
