So for now, the dream of room-temperature superconductors is on pause. But despite LK-99’s unfortunate fate, the dream has never been so tantalizing. Darren Orf. Contributing Editor.

Room temperature superconductors don't violate any known physics theories, but neither do any theories predict them. The difficulty of creating them boils down to an engineering puzzle, ...

Room-temperature superconductors would revolutionize nearly every technology on Earth, but the path toward that “holy grail” of materials is a long one. Scientists from Caltech might’ve just ...
