Breakthroughs With LK-99
South Korean scientists claim they have developed a new super-conductor, dubbed LK-99, that will bring revolutionary changes to the transmission of electrical energy. The new superconductor operates at room temperatures and could transmit energy across super-thin lines without great loss of power.
The primary materials used to manufacture the superconductor — lead and oxygen — are cheap, while the more expensive phosphorous also is needed, although in much smaller quantities. The LK-99 news has now been revealed but there’s still a lengthy review process ahead before any changes can occur.
Here, Clif High discusses the implications of the LK-99 discovery, and says, “Humans are going to the show!” This is another edition of High’s Explorers’ Guide to SciFi World.
