LK-99 is a candidate for a room temperature ambient pressure superconductor proposed by several authors at Qcentre in Korea. Since the original papers
arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008
arxiv.org/abs/2307.12037
appeared on the arxiv on July 22, 2023, scientists have been skeptical whether the claims are true. In this video we break down why scientists are skeptical and see whether there is hope that LK-99 really lives up to its promises. This is a fast changing topic and was filmed on August 4, 2023 so there may be new developments since.
