room-temperature superconductor

Swiss startup Terra Quantum says it has discovered a form of graphite that superconducts. But other researchers aren’t convinced.

Latest room-temperature claims met with heaps of skepticism

This new material picks up where LK-99 left off, which isn’t really an auspicious starting point.

Is the latest near-room-temperature superconductor legit? Don’t count on it

For the broader economy, this was the year of the recession that never arrived. But for climate tech, it was a year of both great hits and big misses.

Other researchers had discovered numerous problems with the scientific paper describing the material. Now the scientific journal Nature has retracted it.

Another room-temperature superconductor bites the dust

Latest room-temperature superconductor claims offer a lesson in how to spot sketchy science.

It’s official: LK-99 isn’t a room-temperature superconductor

The latest room-temp superconductor claims are losing their magnetism after several labs failed to replicate results.

Fun while it lasted: The room-temperature superconductor claim is probably bunk
