The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

Energy transformation is not simply a fuel switch – it’s a redesign of the systems that underpin economic growth and national energy security. Electricity demand is rising sharply, driven by the ...

The scientific and technological community is abuzz with the unveiling of a new room-temperature superconductor. This pivotal discovery holds the potential to revolutionize a myriad of industries, ...

South Korean scientists claim to have made a superconductor, LK-99, that works at room temperature. Experts are skeptical, but if such a material exists, it could boost energy production and storage.

A newly discovered material called LK-99 kicked off a frenzy to see if it really was a game-changing superconductor. The results are disappointing. A newly discovered material called LK-99 kicked off ...

Experts continue to push back against extraordinary claims of a room-temperature superconductor. But even a flop could open up new pathways for materials research. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science ...

If LK-99 is the real deal, it could be a game-changer for everything from quantum computing and medical imaging to energy and transportation. But there are a lot of red flags. If LK-99 is the real ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...
