A copper-doped lead apatite that went viral in 2023 as a claimed room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor. The market currently treats one of its claims as established or likely and one as unlikely or false.
What the evidence supports
The weight of evidence indicates that the sharp resistance drop reported in LK-99 samples is explained by copper sulfide impurities . Supporters cite: Cu2S undergoes a structural transition near 104 °C.
Common misconceptions
The idea that LK-99 is a superconductor at room temperature and ambient pressure is a minority view .
