Never mind room temperature, LK-99 slammed as 'not a superconductor at all'
Perhaps the biggest blow came from the University of Maryland's Condensed Matter Theory Center , which is a theoretical research facility set up to"maintain sustained excellence in theoretical condensed matter physics," the study of solids and liquids., CMTC summed up the latest findings from various research teams working on LK-99 and concluded:"With a great deal of sadness, we now believe that the game is over. LK99 is NOT a superconductor, not even at room temperatures .
Also mentioned was the National Physical Laboratory of India, which likewise reported observing diamagnetism but no superconductivity, and the International Center for Quantum Materials in China, which found a small amount of ferromagnetism in tiny flakes of LK-99, but again no superconductivity. In fact, several of the research teams reported insulating resistivity actually increasing with decreasing temperature, leading the CMTC team to remark that LK-99 appears to be an"anti-superconductor."
