Whatever technology we are getting, our military has had for 30 years. Probably explains all these UFOs.

Does this mean those IT server rooms in factories don't have to be 60 degrees F?

As Les would say, I have a lot of want of understanding here.

Yes, that chart tells me many things.
I get mainly one thing out of it: cuprates are the kings of superconductors unless you use INCREDIBLE pressures. Hydrogen sulfide for example requires 155 Gpa to perform equally at ~60 degrees Kelvin warmer, keep in mind a Gigapascal is almost 10,000 ATM or ~145,000 PSI. It is going to need a lot for than Lizzo sitting on it.

If it wasn't clear why this is a big deal, if successful LK-99 would be a watershed moment for humanity easily on-par with invention of the transistor.

Seems like their might be some truth to this breakthrough.

Which means that, even if it isn’t ready out of the box, showing that it is working opens up lines of research toward this goal.

Any updates? It seemed easy for someone to replicate but have not read anyone has yet.

Coincidentally, I was coming here to post this

Lawrence Berkeley Lab Simulations Support Lk-99 Superconductor
July 31, 2023 by Brian Wang
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab simulated this using heavy-duty compute power from the Department of Energy, and looked to see what would happen to the ‘electronic structure’ of this material, meaning, what are the available conduction pathways in the material. It turns out that there are conduction pathways for electrons that are in just the right conditions and places that would enable them to ‘superconduct’. More specifically, they were close to the ‘Fermi Surface’ which is like the sea-level of electrical energy, as in ‘0 ft above sea-level.’

Is 100% actually attainable - doesn't entropy directly contradict this?

Lots to be skeptical about per Scientific American.

Because the recipe for LK-99’s synthesis is straightforward, results could come in the next few days or weeks.

Seems like people are saying the Korean research was based on a legit material, just not sure if they can synthesize the same quality sample to verify the data. Some are saying the sample used might have just been dumb luck.
Hopefully we can at least figure out how to springboard off this research.
Most folks are pointing to the Argonne Labs experiment as the one to watch.

I think the Scientific American article came out to try and dampen expectations. However, as been stated since these independent labs have started to try and replicate and study the results, it looks like there is some meat on the bone with this discovery. There are research labs all over the world changing directions or at the very least adding this to their current research paths. I suspect we will see some incredible breakthroughs over the next 12-18 months due to this paper.

Anyone care to offer some predictions?

If 95% were attainable and practical would not that alone be huge?

I am hoping for cheap electromagnets that can contain the plasma for fusion.

1000 miles on an EV charge. Or 10000 miles, who knows.
