In the stock market, stocks related to superconductors plunged for two days in a row yesterday and today. This is because a series of analyzes questioning the reality of ‘ LK-99 ‘ , which was announced by domestic researchers as a room-temperature superconductor, followed.
This is reporter Min Kim.

Superconductor-related stocks, which rose steeply for안전놀이터 several days, fell sharply today after hitting the lower limit yesterday (8th). [Kim Ki-Wan/Director of Industrial and Market Policy Research , Korea
Development Institute: There are cases where basic science goes directly to industry, so the market seems to react sensitively in that situation.]
This is what I posted on Twitter yesterday and today.
The University of Maryland said yesterday, “It’s sad, but the game is over.” “ LK-99 is not a room temperature superconductor,” he asserted.
And today, I mentioned a Princeton University thesis claiming that “it is more likely to be a magnet than a superconductor.”
However, some point out that whether or not it is a superconductor can only be known after verification is complete.
[Jang Ki-joo / Professor Emeritus of the Department of Physics at KAIST: (So far) there is no clean data (thesis) that directly shows that it is a room temperature superconductor. (But) I think it’s such a problem that we have to wait and see what results will come out.]
However, the verification committee organized by the Korean Society of Superconducting Low Temperatures has yet to conduct full-scale experiments.
First of all, Quantum Energy, which developed LK-99, is not giving samples.
Recreating it yourself also takes time.
This is because you have to wait about two weeks to obtain ‘lead sulfate’, which is an essential material for the experiment.
