Laboratories worldwide are working to replicate a material that Korean scientists claimed to be a room-temperature superconductor. But so far, international researchers have yet to observe signs of superconductivity in LK-99 produced in their laboratories.
A superconductor, which has no electrical resistance at extremely low temperatures or under high pressure, has emerged as a red-hot issue across the globe after Korean scientists recently claimed they developed one that can be used at room temperature, according to industry experts, Thursday. While this would be a dream technology, if proven true, it is expected to bring revolutionary changes, they said, adding it is too early to call it a success because it needs to be verified more accurately.
