2007 Superconductors And The Trouble With LK99

In response to a lot of posts and e-mails I have had

[@ET_AYY_LMAO]

Bandwagon is happeningon both sides of the discourse right now. There is for certain some peculiar properties in this material, even with the assumably terrible sample quality, they have something that appears to be more diamagnetic than pyrolyctic carbon sheets. That is very indicative of some SC properties within the material, but its also very clear that the sample purity and consitensy is very bad. They spend the best of two decades just trying to replicate it reliably since its accidential discovery, other papers have reported similar results in the past in lead and copper, as far back as 2000, but they could not be replicated. I think there is actually something to it this time, but the synthesis is extremely hard, because you need to replace sulfur with copper in places in the crystal lattice where it is MOST unlikely to do so, so for every batch there is only a little of the "magic" crystal structure and a lot of biproduct that did not react in such a fortunate way. Im still hopeful, its not over.

[@AvWoN]

Exactly! Might take another year, 10 years, or never till we find the perfect manufacturing process that can be scaled for manufacturing, but the magic material is real by all accounts.

[@OrangeyTangerine]

I understand nothing about these matters and don’t know if this information is of any use, but I saw someone speculating in a forum that some impurities in the material could be what is giving it the wanted properties, that’s why the results come out so different.

[@OceanBagel]

I saw a video discussing the principle behind this specific material and I think it sounds like a promising avenue of research even if this specific material doesn't quite meet the high expectations put on it. So at the very least, I'd hope the interest encourages further research into this class of materials since it's still possible that it leads to significant improvements over what we have now.

[@dodditude]

without a superior design already postulated i doubt superior materials would be relevant. I'm not a trained scientist I just in the words of Slavoj Zizek, am a "thinker". I don't do - I just think. I am not at liberty to experiment. i wish i were.

If nothing else, this has demonstrated that there may be alternate avenues to superconductivity, which will compel researchers to expand their understanding of the conditions required to produce superconductors into territory that they may have overlooked until now.

[@dvl973]

@@dodditude given your ignorance on a given topic... let me inform you that superconductivity can be a result of many different processes in a material. This one uses lattices with holes in them which makes these materials superconductive. A diamond is a specific crystal lattice of carbon. Carbon is just carbon, but put it in a lattice and it becomes materially very different and special. This is the same thing but the result is superconductivity. So you doubting something without giving it a gram of thought makes me wonder how much of a thinker you are.

A healthy dose of skepticism is always advised. 1:06 Though, i think it's wrong to say superconductors are little more than a lab curiosity, they are used daily on the Japanese maglev train, in hospitals across the whole world, at the LHC and other particle accelerators, etc. They are not in everyone's homes sure, but they are still very useful in many contexts.

[@Johnson_Rice]

Jeez, this video was ultra pessimistic... I liked Two Bit Davinci's explanation of how LK99 potentially works by exploiting a property called quantum tunneling that allows for a nearly unrestricted flow of electrons. I don't think that people are simply looking for a lazy no work solution... I think they are looking for a material that will allow for inexpensive room temperature MRIs that would completely alter forever the landscape of healthcare when anyone can get a cheap fast and readily available MRI at their general practictioner and never again need to be irratiated by xrays. I think people want high speed maglevs everywhere and super fast computers... I mean... I am a HUGE skeptic (James Randi will be missed dearly) and I know charlatans, grifters, and swindlers are everywhere, but I don't think that people's desires for scientific advancement have to necessarily be based on laziness. Hoping for something better is pretty powerful too.

The News section over at the SpaceBattles forum has a thread titled 'Claims of Room Temperature and Ambient Pressure Superconductor', which has a stickied first post detailing all the currently known professional and amateur attempts to create LK-99 and is updated as new details come in. Based on the apparently varied range of results, I'm thinking that there's more to the manufacturing process; as it stands it's simply random chance. I'm hopeful that round two - where people start trying their own thing instead of simply following the process already laid out - will produce better results.

[@Taka.1011]

When you say "random chance" you mean that someone actually has recreated a Room temperature super conductor?

[@4203105]

@@Taka.1011 Huazhong University of Science and Technology (very reputable, from what I'm told) has observed the meissner effect at room temperature from the sample they created. They said they wanted to create more before doing superconductivity tests, because those could damage the material. That was the day before yesterday. No news yet. Might be their new samples didn't work out or it's just taking a few days to produce. So far nobody has replicated superconductivity at room temperature.

[@AnonymousAnarchist2]

@@Taka.1011 its been verified now. News is moving fast. Its random chance because the mineral lattice being created is a higher energy state then any of the other reactions possible, and that seems to be attacthed to the primary feature that allows it to super conduct so as it stands we either need an atomic mold to create these materials or we need a better means of refining the material that makes the leap (in LK99 a lead atom is replaced with a copper atom in the crystal lattice this compresses the crystal structure to create channels that are at the fermi plane, channels that allow it to super conduct)

[@idrinkdietsoda]

In 1987 Bednorz and Müller won the Nobel Prize for discovering a new class of superconductors (perovskite ceramics). This flew in the face of what was known and spared a race for room temp superconductivity. YBCO composition was discovered shortly thereafter, with the all important Tc > than LN2. I'm not saying LK 99 is real or not, but a few decades ago a fundamentally new material, electrical property was discovered. It happened once, why not again? My 2 cents is this not superconducting, the levitation videos do not look like the Meissner Effect. I've played with NdFeB magnets on LN2 cooled YBCO, and they spin, can move them around in any orientation. Turn them upside down. In the Meissner Effect the magnet DOES NOT SNAP back to some fixed position. In the vids of LK99, the material (inversed as the LK99 is hovering over a fixed magnet, but it doesn't matter, cooled YBCO over a fixed magnet would also freely spin). The videos look like a diamagnetic phenomena not one of superconducting magnetic repulsion.

[@4203105]

One should consider that this sample likely isn't pure though and will have some pure copper and lead in it. That could explain the snapping to a certain point. It does look diamagnetic otherwise. Even more so in the new video on the New York Times article.

[@backfischritter]

Well this research group worked on this for decades. I would not write this off as: "putting in no effort". No if LK-99 is really a room temp abient pressure sc can only be confirmed by replication. And thorough replication attempts will take time. I would not jump to any conclusions as of now.

[@danielroden9424]

they have created 100s of miles of cuprate and other super conductors for electrical transmission (10,000 amps in a ribbon a few mm thick to replace copper cable as thick as your leg) inside particle accelerators and various fusion projects. they also exist in MRI machines. not exactly "lab curiosities!"

[@AnonymousAnarchist2]

well yes but no. they are still rather fragile, and of course need to be cooled tremundiously.

[@ET_AYY_LMAO]

There is lots of applications for a cheap non-cryo SC, especially when it comes to energy transfer, energy storage (SMES devices) and imagine what RT SCs can do for coilguns and warfare, with a little imagination a true RT SC could really revolutionize everything.

[@danielroden9424]

@@ET_AYY_LMAO yes the first big IF is IF it is a SC. if it is i dont think synthesis will be a problem whatever mechanical or recipe steps are necessary to add but if its not possible to make it into ribbons it limits its use for long transmission lines. assuming it can support a 1000s of amps which not all SC can do. still very exciting!

[@amondhawes-khalifa1949]

"Lab" as in controlled conditions. We probably couldn't maintain that ribbon's stability without incredibly low temperature or extreme pressure, lol

[@ET_AYY_LMAO]

@@danielroden9424 That is true. Im hopeful that there is something to this, early reproductions seem to have promising qualities, but I also think that it is a very difficult crystal lattice to synthesize. As I understand it the Sulfur ions that need to be replaced are those that have the highest energy state in the compound, so it is also the least likely place where it happens, so you can only assume that it is extremely difficult to actually produce these structures and the actual yield in the amorphous end product is terrible... Still exciting to know if a RC SC indeed exists, even if it is just a few micron specs in a otherwise useless amorphous blop.

[@AnonymousAnarchist2]

so, from my understanding there is difficulty replicating the material. But Two other labs have declared success replicating the results shown in the video. The issue is not because following the instructions on the paper are any more difficult than any other synthis, but from *increadibly* low yeilds and some bad use of cloquial speech in un-prepaired press interactions and of course the papet that wad absolutly NOT ready for release. Basically the material really wants to form in a lower energy state (naturally) but occisonally forms in the higher energy state that allows superconductivity, allowing for some shake and bake synthisis on this material that is novel, and probably rather useful at least, and still unverivied as to being a super conducter

[@AnonymousAnarchist2]

@AreUKiddingMeTV Hey, someone who read the verification papers. From my experince in metalurgy and materials processing we might not ever improve the yeilds per batch, but we could dimish the size of grains to the molecular limits and use some sort of magetic sorting to refine the material then bind it. It might not form a monolithic super conductor but that would be close enough for most applications.

Hey Robert, any interest in looking into the recent paper on carbon infused concrete being capable of acting as a supercapacitor?

[@hughtinling4922]

Hi Robert, Hello everybody, The enthusiasm for what a room-temperature superconductor could provide seems to have limited our critical evaluation of it. What I'm referring to is the materials involved. R.T. superconductors will only help power transmission if they have comparable weight and tensile strength --and comparable availability-- as do copper wire and aluminum wire.

[@experimenteeer]

Since the material is a ceramic and not a typical metal with ductility I don't assume it will help with power transmission unless the copper or aluminum strands are "doped" with the material. It is also claimed that the superconductor may be 1 dimensional so long long strands of it would be most useful in power transmission. * Ignore my crude and ignorant language as I'm just a software engineer navigating the hype of a breakthrough in materials science.

[@ignorance72]

You can deposit a thin layer of it onto some other material. That substrate then provides the necessary mechanical strength. Even if the superconductor is a hard material, with a thin enough layer almost anything can be flexible. And with 0 resistance even a very thin layer would work great for carrying current.

[@charlesayomike]

Remember fiber optic cable are made of glass.

[@annekelive]

In that video It looked like pyrolytic graphite. Bismuth is similarly diamagnetic, though not as good as pyrolytic graphite which is hard to manufacture.

[@JamesBrown-yn7xr]

Incredible because part of my degree was working within a research team to create some super conductors. My role was to grind and create the correct ratio of conductor to impurity required for the bose einstien condensate to occur. But we only test easily at liquid nitrogen temps and it required higher approval and timing and time to get lower hydrogen temps. Also the creation process (20yrs ago) involved correct chems mixed and then tested under temp and then tested under expensive lower temps conditions. So the holy grail is easy and in sight. Just the super conductor dream of all pyhscis has been elluding us like cold fusion for many years.

Electromagentic radiation energy in the atmosphere interacts with the aluminum cones. c. Jostled atoms and molecules in the cone eventually have some electrons try to get away from other electrons of which those electrons gather at the larger end of the cone, of which also creates an area of positive charge at the smaller end of the cone. d. The electron's in the wire are attracted to the positive end of the cone and the positive 'end' in the wire are attracted to the negatively charged end of the cone. e. Basically a 'battery' has been created inside the electrical wire itself, different areas of electrical potential. Basically a 'wire battery' or a 'batteryless battery', however one wanted to call it. f. Numerous cones placed end to end increases the number of 'batteries' in the wire. (In series to increase voltage, in parallel to increase amperage). * Via QED (Quantum Electro Dynamics) whereby electromagnetism interacts with electrons in atoms and molecules, one would have to find the correct 'em' frequency for the correct material being utilized for the cones. The shape of the cones could also come into play. The type and size of the wire as well as the type and thickness of the insulation between the cones and the wire would also be factors. * Of course also, possibly 2D triangles made up of certain materials with a conductor going down through the center of the triangle could possible achieve the same 'batteryless' battery system. * Plus possibly with the 2D concept, layered 2D's that absorb different energy frequencies, thereby increasing the net output.

You can do this at room temperature with Dielectricity/Cold Electricity/Radiant Energy, easily made in a hairpin circuit, it keeps the magnetic component out of dielectric flow and doesn't create any heat in the wire, or load if modulated correctly, it won't work on standard motors though since those need magnetism, these are Tesla's non-Hertzian waves. This also occurs in Tesla's single wire transmission if the Russian's experiments are anything to go by, series wired resistors, capacitors, and inductors are all shown to have no effect on the power transmission.

I'm fearfull that RTSC's will now go the way of room temperature or "cold" Fusion, no serious Scientists will touch that stuff with a 10foot pole, as Noone wants to kill his career before it even has started…

[@elitecol69]

It's fake its a normal magnet. Its not even hovering and was reported from a random webpage, not peer reviewed ir anything

[@MMaRsu]

Stop saying it's fake when you obviously have no clue.

The Meissner effect has nothing to do with the presence or absence of a superconductor. It's a classic idea. you should have a new way of thinking like Korea. That's how science gets better. being cynical is proof that you're old

You can't possibly star, produce, edit etc. All these videos. Can you? If so, can you also walk on water?

Hi Robert could you please tell me were I can get the graphite foil for hydrogen generator dry cell and what thickness is best

[@ThePretendgineer]

How do you feel about a majority of your stance on the validity of LK99 after multiple labs have confirmed LK99 to be at the very least an insanely high temperature superconductor? Even if the best we get is the -13C at atmospheric pressure number, that's enough to revolutionize almost every industry.

FOCUS, Follow One Course Until Successful

There's a video of a small piece that is properly levitating and even appears flux pinned.

🤔With everything I know about room temperature superconductors and Material Sciences is where you take the Nano powder of two or more different materials in zero gravity & in a vacuum and Quantum entangl electrons within the nanopowder material to arrange the atoms of the materials in their superposition with varying frequencies of high-voltage to the material to a liquid then super cool to solidify locking the material in its superposition for a superconductor at room temperature🤷‍♂️

[@travman2863]

So unless you have a sulfur hexafluoride glovebox on the International Space Station you aren't making room temperature superconductors everything on Earth has to be suspended within a liquid therefore you still need liquid cooling

I can understand why you would hate the phrase "GAME CHANGER". I personally hate the word "UNFORTUNATELY". A word that literally every LAWYER here in America uses way to much. NOW let us get down to the brass tacks. I personally have been TINKERING with the material for the past 30 years off and on. I can tell you that this is probably one of the most difficult hurdles science can overcome. I personally have given up. The cost of liquid nitrogen vacuum furnace ultra pure elements are not cheap. Getting funding or working under a corporation or university and giving up your blood sweat and tear is not what I would ever do !! Let us not forget having ones place get ransacked and things stolen was the last straw for me to overcome. The making of "Room Temperature Superconductor"is already know by the makers of UFOs. I would bet that even if someone would figure it out the governments of the world would never let that see the light of day. The change would be so revolutionary that it would abruptly change the world..... Peace vf

Personally I believe that technological advances have slowed right up and I believe this is due to large corporations and governments making to much money out of present technologies and exploiting us all.
