National Lab (LBNL) results support LK-99 as a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor.
![Andrew Cote @Andercot National Lab (LBNL) results support LK-99 as a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor. Simulations published 1 hour ago on arxiv support LK-99 as the holy grail of modern material science and applied physics. (arxiv.org/abs/2307.16892) Here's the plain-english explanation: - The simulations modeled what the original Korean authors proposed was happening to their material - where copper atoms were percolating into a crystal structure and replacing lead atoms, causing the crystal to strain slightly and contract by 0.5%. This unique structure was proposed to allow this amazing property. - @sineatrix from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab simulated this using heavy-duty compute power from the Department of Energy, and looked to see what would happen to the 'electronic structure of this material, meaning, what are the available conduction pathways in the material. It turns out that there are conduction pathways for electrons that are in just the right conditions and places that would enable them to 'superconduct'. More specifically, they were close to the 'Fermi Surface' which is like the sea-level of electrical energy, as in '0 ft above sea-level.' It's believed currently that the more conduction pathways close to the Fermi surface, the higher the temperature you can superconduct at (An analogy might be how its easier for planes to fly close to the surface of the ocean due to the 'ground effect' that gives them more lift.) 0.1 EIDU 「 A LH A|LM|K H Energy (eV) 0.0 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3+ -0.4. MK FIG. 4. Calculated spin-polarized electronic band structur in smaller energy range around the Fermi level showing th isolated two-band Cu-d manifold. The Fermi level is set to ( eV and is marked by the dashed line. This plot in particular shows the 'bands', or electron pathways, crossing above and below the Fermi surface. - Lastly, these interesting conduction pathways only form when the copper atom percolates into the less likely location in the crystal lattice, or the 'higher energy' binding site. This means the material would be difficult to synthesize since only a small fraction of crystal gets its copper in just the right location. This is insanely bullish for humanity.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/633/137/8ff.jpg)

The Race To Validate
![Ate-a-Pi @8teAPi The Race To Validate Previously, on Friday 28 July Kwon goes rogue and presents at the MMC conference. Lee is forced to give an interview to Yonhap, retracting the 3 author paper, and disclosing Kwon had been fired 4 months earlier. Continuing: Virginia:, HT Kim, shrugs off the frenzy, corrects the 6 author Arxiv paper. He resubmits on Saturday, with the correction to be mailed out by Arxiv on Tuesday morning. He then starts on his calls and emails. Illinois: At DoE funded, Argonne National Labs, Jorg Maser at the Center for Nanoscale Materials gets a call from HT. Maser is trying to figure out what is happening in LK99 as its superconductivity fades around the critical temperature. HT and Maser brainstorm before dialing off. Seoul: JH Kim is in the salt mines, supervising production of more LK99, trying to scale up the manufacturing process. HT has more questions on the manufacturing process, which JH quickly answers. Later in the day Lee storms in to the office, swearing at JH's LinkedIn shitposts. JH deletes everything on his LinkedIn, killing the last Western social media presence of any member of the core team. On Saturday, an Internet influencer from China makes a visit to the modest Qcenter headquarters, is told "Yes, yes we have it" by reception, handed a business card and shooed away. Los Angeles: Andrew McCalip, Head of R&D at Varda, a space factory company, reads the description of the LK99 synthesis, and realizes he has most of the equipment in the office. If this is the first room temperature superconductor, there's no way he's missing out, so he hustles to secure the ingredients and livestreams the process on Twitch. It is perhaps the most watched stream of a live furnace on the platform in history. China: Chinese social media has exploded with speculation. Posts and hoaxes about the LK99 material abound. What is certain is that the materials are widely available, and the process described simple enough, that dozens of labs decide to make an attempt. Twitter: On a widely attended Spaces on Saturday evening, Korean sleuths track down and translate the Korean language scientific papers from Qcenter. They find that a serendipitous accident, the destruction of the quartz capsule on removal from the furnace, resulted in the first sign of the superconductor. This kink begins suspicion that the manufacturing process described in the papers in insufficient. Andrew McCalip, who is on the space, reacts to the news with a sigh. His materials are cooking, and the furnace removal is upcoming. He fires off questions to a number of people. Teams from multiple places start poring over translated Korean language scientific papers with a fine tooth comb. Russia: Soil scientist and anime catgirl Iris, stumbles upon the papers and reads them casually on Friday morning. Russian scientific practice when replicating Western papers is to deconstruct the science into abstraction. Not having the same access to equipment, Russian inquiry delves into the why much more deeply, to concentrate on the essence required to produce the outcome. With that starting point, cursing and swearing in inimical Russian style, she recognizes the smokescreen of the method in both papers immediately, cursing the idiocy of the Korean team (normally it would American, but the curses work just as well on Koreans). You want to produce a crystal, get good quality, well mixed starting inputs, and perform the actual exothermic reaction that produces the desired outcome. She posts her kitchen chemistry process over the weekend, at arrives at 2 confirmed Meissner effect levitation stones, beating all other public teams. She posts the pics on Twitter and begins to indulge in her favorite hobby, insulting the intelligence of westerners.
