Another striking thread about recent progress on LK-99:

Tweet Aug 4, 2023

There's much interest in whether the material known as #LK99 is a room-temperature superconductor. I'd like to address a much simpler question: Is there evidence that LK-99 has an unusually low room-temperature resistivity?

I found this thread enlightening:

Tweet Aug 2, 2023

I am seeing a lot of newcomers lately to the room-temperature superconductor rodeo. They might not be aware of the long history of these events, and I think there’s some cross-cultural communications difficulties going on because of that.
