South Korean physicists have proposed the existence of materials that could be "room-temperature, Ambient Pressure superconductors," according to a pre-print paper. The lead-based compound LK-99, which the team claims possesses superconducting properties, could induce magnetic levitation even at sea-level pressures. This discovery, if verified, could revolutionize transportation by allowing cars, trains, skateboards, and bicycles to levitate using magnetism. Additionally, it could lead to more efficient nuclear fusion rectors that currently rely on conventional superconducting wires and expensive cooling systems. However, the claims have received skepticism, and the authors have invited independent peer review and replication of their findings.
