LK99 Q-Centre Company Updates Room Temperature Superconducting Patent and Claims Half of Thin Film is Superconducting

by

The original LK99 room temperature superconducting company, Q-Centre, has information in their patent. They provide more detailed measurements, evidence and process description. They say the micron(s) thick thin film is nearly half superconductive material. In 2008, the LK99 korean researchers founded the Quantum Energy Research Centre (퀀텀 에너지연구소; also known as Q-Centre) with other researchers …

Original Team Says LK99 Superconductivity Is Real and Next Published Paper Will Provide Answers and Evidence

by

The original LK99 team reassures the world that LK99 superconductivity is real and was demonstrated. They will provide evidence and answers in the next published paper. They recommend other researchers need to have patience and try harder (and implied is to work with the original Korean team) because the others will also make it superconduct. …

Pictures of Iris Alexander LK99 Samples

by

Iris Alexander had the first publicly claimed LK99 levitation and now has claimed to have low resistance at about 7 degrees celsius. She is giving her ingredients and pictures of her samples. The ingredients (MOLAR %) – 23,5% PbSO4; – 70,5% PbO; – 3,5% Cu3P; – 2,5% PbSiO3. Cooled reasonably fast, crystalline structure should be …

Thin Film LK99 Process is Undescribed and Has the Only Claimed Room Temperature Superconducting Measurement

by

The original peer reviewed LK99 superconductor paper only briefly mentions the thin film work and measurements but this is the most important part as only the chemical vapor deposited thin film has the zero resistance superconducting measurement. The original team has said they will produce a new peer reviewed by the end of August or …

Physics World – LK99 Hope is a Very Specific Impurity Unique to the Korean Samples

by

Physics World reports that LK99 produced by the descriptions in the original papers are not superconducting and not room temperature superconducting. A deep investigation of the original samples is needed to confirm any hints of superconducting observations and then to find any very specific impurity that is unique to the Korean samples. The original LK99 …

Iris Alexander Claims to See Zero Resistance at 7 degrees Celsius With Lead Silicate Variant of LK99 #LK-99

by

Zhihu is very impressed by the recent claims of @iris_IGB (Iris Alexander) to have achieved 0 resistivity of #LK99 under 280K (7 Celsius). @sanxiyn fully agrees with this sentiment. Chinese observers are impressed. Iris Alexander is one of the first to replicate levitation effect in an LK99 Replication effort. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is no peer …

LK99 August 11 Updates

by

UPDATE: Hyun Tak Kim has put out news slides that describes a semiconductor and superconductor phase for LK99. He quoted his own paper on VO2 to explain that most researchers did not understand the difference between MIT and MST (MIT, metal to insulator transition: after cooling down, the resistivity jump → becomes very large; MST, …

Good Indian Researcher Has Improving LK99 Replications Despite Previous Replication Failures

by

VPS Awana has been trying for weeks to get a good LK99 replication. He has been in direct contact with the Korean team. He published two arxiv preprints talking about how his previous samples didn’t work. NEW most promising replication yet: The National Physics Lab New Delphi, led by VPS Awana, has finally succeeded in …
