Another Density Function analysis of LK-99 proposed room-temperature superconductor by researchers at Northwest University in China and Tu Wien Austria Physics Institute. They think superconductivity might be possible, but only if LK-99 is doped, and that diamagnetism without superconductivity is unlikely. Liang Sia,b and Karsten Heldb a School of Physics, Northwest University, Xi’an 710127, China …
Sinéad Griffin, Berkeley Lab researcher, published the simulation of LK99 paper. The paper did *not* prove nor give evidence of superconductivity in Cu-apatite. It showed interesting structural and electronic properties that have features common with high-Tc superconductors provided Cu is in the right place. Result 3: The electronic structure of Cu on the Pb(2) does …
Derek Lowe in the Journal Science is guardedly optimistic at this point. The Shenyang and Lawrence Berkeley calculations are very positive developments. This is by far the most believable shot at room-temperature-and-pressure superconductivity the world has seen so far, and the coming days and weeks are going to be extremely damned interesting. The Fermi level …
Another levitating flake of LK-99 superconductor from China. A third levitating LK-99 superconductor replication video has dropped from China https://t.co/mCewSbYD9X Caveat here is that they then measured the resistance and found it to have high resistivity, so more work needs to be done to get both levitation + zero resistance samples pic.twitter.com/Q6OTDjaReI — Floates0x (@floates0x) …
Under the guidance of Professor Chang Haixin, postdoctoral Wu Hao and doctoral student Yang Li of the School of Materials Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology they have successfully verified and synthesized the LK-99 crystal. It can be magnetically levitated for the first time and this is shown on a bilibili …
Huanzhong Univesity and Iris Alexander claim to have replicated and seen some Meissner effect. Berkeley Lab and Shengyang lab have separate theory papers with simulation on how and why LK99 and variants will work. There are at least a dozen publicly announced or rumored replication efforts. BREAKING UPDATES: Two theoretical papers from national labs support …
The Physics Institute has successfully produced a sample of the LK99 superconductor and replicated its magnetizing qualities. However, the Meissner effect, a key characteristic of superconductors, has yet to be observed. The issue seems to lie in the purity of the superconducting material, which is currently only a few percent. Despite this, the conversation implies …
