Recently, a team of scientists announced that they have discovered the world's first room temperature superconducting material, LK-99. For a moment, the global scientific community was boiling. What is room temperature superconductivity and has it really been achieved? What impact will it bring us? Perhaps a new "industrial revolution" is about to begin. What is room temperature superconductivity, where material acquisition is comparable to alchemy? Superconductivity refers to the phenomenon where the resistance of certain materials suddenly disappears and there is no resistance when current passes through. The currently discovered superconducting materials exhibit superconducting properties only in extremely special environments, such as high pressure, high temperature, or low temperature.
