It's a brittle ceramic, nothing we care about changes even if it's real.

- paulddraper 3y agoAbsolutely false. No matter what, if it were bonefide it would be interesting.
- pengaru 3y agoInteresting, sure. But let's stop deceiving everyone into thinking everything using superconducting wires/cables will magically become room-temperature if LK-99 is real. They won't, you don't make such things from brittle ceramic.
- doctor_eval 3y agoI wonder what percentage of the worlds conductors actually need to be flexible? There’s probably many meters of electrical traces in my iPhone’s logic board and ICs, most of which are presumably copper, but don’t need to be. The whole outer case of my phone is made of ceramic so it doesn’t seem like it would be a problem.
- rich_sasha 3y agoIs there use for almost-superconductors? E.g. could you take fine room-temperature superconductor powder, stick it into copper or sth and have something that's a fraction of resistivity of copper (but not 0)?
- jiggawatts 3y agoA brittle ceramic that can be deposited as a thin layer onto a substrate is more than sufficient for a very wide range of applications. Antennas in mobile phones, EM shielding for sensitive amplifiers, motherboard circuitry, etc, etc...
