Evidence For Graphite As A Room Temperature Superconductor

Little has to be said about why superconducting materials are so tantalizing, or what the benefits of an ambient pressure, room temperature material with superconducting properties would be. The ma…

Remember that time when the entire physics community dropped what it was doing to replicate the extraordinary claim that a room-temperature semiconductor had been discovered? We sure do, and if it …

LK-99: Diamagnetc Semiconductor, Not Superconductor?

Every so often, along comes a story which, like [Fox Mulder] with his unexplained phenomena, we want to believe. EM drives and cold fusion for example would be the coolest of the cool if they worke…

@caseynewton “Superconductor superconfusion” - if I still had any hopes for this “discovery”, it’s gone after hearing you guys joking about it… Always fun listening to the two of you, thanks! #superconductor #roomtemperaturesuperconductor
“Room Temperature Superconductor” LK-99, Just Maybe It Could Be Real

To have been alive over the last five decades is to have seen superconductors progress from only possible at near-absolute-zero temperatures, to around the temperature of liquid nitrogen in the 198…

Viral Superconductor Study Claims to 'Open a New Era for Humankind.' Scientists Aren't So Sure.

LK-99 could be a watershed discovery that enables widespread maglev trains and quantum computers, or it could be another major disappointment.

Room-temperature superconductor 'breakthrough' met with scepticism

Creating a material that perfectly conducts electricity at room temperature and pressure would be a big deal, but a research team's claims of creating one has attracted more scrutiny than optimism

Allegations of Scientific Misconduct Mount as Physicist Makes His Biggest Claim Yet

Condensed-matter physicist Ranga Dias and his colleagues reported on Tuesday the discovery of a room-temperature, near-ambient-pressure superconductor; Dias is also being accused of committing scientific misconduct, including data manipulation and plagiarism.

Physics

A new claim for a room temperature superconductor was made. Best to wait and see if this claim is valid.

"While the announcement has been greeted with enthusiasm by some scientists, others are far more cautious, pointing to the research group’s controversial history of alleged research malfeasance."
