The scientific community is buzzing with the news of the first room temperature superconductor. The initial discovery was written about in a paper authored by students from Korea University. At first many people did not believe their claim, but after professors from the University of Illinois verified it, many people are working on improving it and creating more effective versions. If the claims about LK99 are true, this may be one of the greatest technological advancements of the past few decades. If we are able to create usable room temperature superconductors, it could greatly improve the productivity of machines and electronics. Levitating trains, medical imagery, quantum computing would all take major leaps forward. Even though it will still be many years until room temperature superconductors are effective enough to share with the public, this discovery will alter the course of history.
