A potential “room-temperature” semiconductor?
Not another one :p
Oh no, a potential revolution in technology, again. How tedious.
Call me when it gets past being a headline in some tech journal.
"The Meissner effect (or Meißner–Ochsenfeld effect) is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state when it is cooled below the critical temperature. This expulsion will repel a nearby magnet. " - from wikipedia. I had to look it up.
And how is this different than LK-99, which was pretty conclusively proven to not be superconductive?
It has already replicated, with two separate labs in China confirming the results. When LK-99 was announced, it was still awaiting replication. The chemical difference appears to be that this thing has sulphur where LK-99 did not.
