Breakthrough Of The CENTURY!? Room Temp Superconductivity


A team of physicists affiliated with several institutions in South Korea is claiming to have created the elusive room-temperature/ambient-pressure superconducting material. Their work has not yet been peer reviewed. They have posted two papers on the arXiv preprint server. Is it truly a breakthrough or misinterpreted data?

  1. I stayed on the KIST, Seoul campus for a few months around 5 years ago. The institute is definitely well-respected and their scientists are working on the cutting edge. They are also very well funded and the institute itself led the development of South Korea into a technologically advanced nation. All this makes me inclined to believe that the researchers are not necessarily falsifying their results as some have claimed. But at the same time I'd like to wait and see what conclusion the peer review process settles on before I can put more faith in this new discovery. Perhaps this research brings us a step closer to viable room-temp superconductors, if not the exact desired outcome.
