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.

    NASA was testing the EM Drive. To me this feels exactly the same. I would probably also include Tabby’s star as another analogy.

    I want it to work, but I’m not getting my hopes up yet.
