Hey all.

Just wanted to ask if anyone has any thoughts on the new superconductor discovery that was recently published.

For clarity, LK-99 Google it!

This discovery is about to push mankind truly into a future era!

If it’s proven it has the possibility to be as significant as atomic power. But it hasn’t been peer reviewed yet, so far as I understand, has it?

I have no idea but I do know there is a global shortage of semiconductors. Is this the same thing?

There is a toms hardware article on it. The semi conductors currently in play are silicone based. This new discovery means a monumental efficient rate.

Currently electrons passing through silicone generate heat. This new discovery will change the world as power transfer between large distance won't suffer from power loss via heat. Means technology will jump so far ahead for the first country to be able to synthesise the compound in mass production scenarios.

Truly amazing concept. Would definitely have the global warming folks chinking glasses with scientists. This is Nobel prize level stuff. And they are Korean ( the paper publisher ) aswell which is a significant achievement for them!

I won’t pretend to know enough on the subject to add to it but good luck to them

Berkley has confirmed the findings are accurate and currently are looking to produce the compound themselves but as the article states.

The crystal lattice compound. Is usually found in the centre of a synthesis outcome. Difficult to end get a decent amount for practical application testing.

I reckon 5 years before they find a stable and efficient process to mass produce. Consumer electronics will be another 10 years as AI hardware designers will be all over this.

Why does being Korean make a difference? (Not an arsey question I just don’t know why that makes a difference - I have read people discrediting their research countered by others saying it’s about the translation, I don’t know enough to know if there is academic bias there)

Well if it all turns out true. The Koreans will be forever marked in history as the country that.

A. Had the big impact on global warming by reducing worldwide electronic and electrical heat dispersion.

B. Advancing computational processing capabilities by introducing a new viable superconductor which will in turn reignite Moore's law.

C. Reduced worldwide power consumption requirements on a truly cosmic scale due to technological advancements.

Korea basically just got the keys to world ( if this is true ). Not just the city...

Thanks for the explanation. Let’s see if it turns out to be true, scalable and verified!

Lots of "possibly" and "maybe" in the articles

Cold Fusion springs to mind

Skeptism. Science's greatest tool. Gives people the drive to prove people wrong but always produces better outcomes.

Misleading…. ONE researcher at Berkeley has claimed to recreate the compound in a SIMULATION, but as yet nobody has been able to replicate it physically using the method stated in the Korean research paper.

The video provided by the Korean team also throws doubt on it being a superconductor, as it doesn’t truly demonstrate the Meissner effect

Does it?
