Scientists Remain Divided on South Korean Superconductor Breakthrough

South Korean researchers claim to have created a room-temperature superconductor called LK-99, but other experts are skeptical.
The potential discovery of the first practical superconductor has led to replication efforts and stock speculation worldwide.
LK-99 is made from common materials like lead and phosphorus, but data inconsistencies have raised doubts.
Verification committees and further peer review are needed to validate the superconducting properties.
If proven real, room-temperature superconductors could revolutionize industries like energy, computing, and transportation.
