Researchers have discovered a new compound called LK-99 that could enable the fabrication of room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductors. Two separate sources have provided very preliminary confirmations of this breakthrough, including a simulation indicating it could be possible and a short video from Chinese researchers that seems to indicate some properties of superconductivity.

actually agree, I copied the summary but it's more sensational than it should be.. I'm excited but I've just gone from 1% believing it to 5%, it's far from confirmed.

considering what it would mean I'm still super excited however.. but I'll edit the summary
