Researchers from South Korea have published two papers describing the potential creation of a room-temperature superconductor known as LK-99. Superconductors are materials that exhibit near-zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields, allowing electric charges to move freely through them. Currently, superconductivity only occurs at extremely low temperatures and high pressures, limiting their practical applications. If the South Korean researchers' claims are validated, the room-temperature superconductor could revolutionize various industries by enabling transformative advancements at lower costs and with near-zero energy loss. However, further validation and scrutiny of the research is needed.
