To put it plainly, LK-99 is far from being a superconductor, rendering all the buzz about levitating particles meaningless. The CMTC quashed this hype in a tweet.
With a great deal of sadness, we now believe that the game is over. LK99 is NOT a superconductor, not even at room temperatures . It is a very highly resistive poor quality material. Period. No point in fighting with the truth. Data have spoken.The material LK-99 gained worldwide attention when scientists from the Quantum Energy Research Centre in South Korea shared their findings about it on pre-print servers.
Following the hype, the Quantum Energy Research Centre set up a committee to verify the claims about the material.The committee also suggested that laboratories can verify the claims about superconduction in the replicate samples they had synthesized in their own labs. Comprehensive analyses are now emerging on pre-print servers, forming the basis for CMTC's response against LK-99's claims.Conducting materials offer resistance to the flow of current causing a sizeable loss of energy.
Now that such claims have been debunked, perhaps we can redirect global attention to genuine advancements in the realm of science
