The field of room temperature superconductivity has always attracted much attention, and every news involving "breaking news" can stir ripples in the global capital market. Recently, this field has once again ushered in a sensation, and research teams in South Korea, China and the United States have successively carried out room temperature superconductivity verification tests, which has caused a huge sensation in the field of investors and scientific research.
On August 1, the performance of US superconducting concept stocks in the US stock market was impressive, and by the end of the day, the stock price soared 60%, and even soared more than 140% before the market. In the A-share market, the superconducting sector also rose in response, and the stock prices of Farsheng, Baili Electric, Zhongfu Industrial and other companies also opened more than 7%. However, with the passage of time, the stock price fluctuated, with Farsheng, Baili Electric and Zhongfu Industrial rising to the limit, while Western Superconductor, China Super Holdings, Innovation New Materials, Yuguang Jinlead, Jinhui Shares, Yongding Shares, and Jingda Shares fell sharply.
Behind this round of ups and downs, a team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology successfully verified and synthesized a "room-temperature superconducting crystal" called LK-99 for the first time, which is expected to achieve a truly contactless superconducting magnetic levitation. At the same time, researchers Sun Yan and Liu Peitao of the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made theoretical calculations, and preliminary results showed that LK-99 has the potential to exhibit superconductivity at room temperature.
However, for the significance of this verification video, Zhao Kang, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, questioned the significance of the verification video, saying that just being able to achieve levitation is not enough to prove that it is room temperature superconductivity, and the test at room temperature should be easier, and the test data should be very stable. However, the South Korean team's data performance is not ideal, far from proving that it has the characteristics of zero resistance, which is the real evidence of superconductivity.
South Korea has also played a certain role in promoting competition in this field. A team of South Korean researchers published a paper on the preprint website arXiv claiming that a material called "LK-99" can achieve room-temperature superconductivity. This material introduces a small amount of copper on the basis of lead apatite, thus exhibiting superconductivity below 127 degrees Celsius.
Members of the research team include Lee Seok-bae, a representative of the Institute of Quantum Energy, Young-wan, a research professor at Korea University, Goyang University Emeritus Professor Oh Geun-ho, and Kim Hyun-cho, a former graduate of the Korea Electronics and Communications Research Institute. However, after the release of the paper, Li Shuopei said in an interview with the media that the team was not ready to publish the paper, and the paper was released without the consent of other authors, so the team is currently applying to arXiv for removal. Kim Hyun-cho also said that the paper had many flaws and was not published without his permission.
At the same time, the main "Sekisanguchi male technician" of station B UP released a video announcing that they had successfully synthesized LK-99 crystals that can be maglevated, and the suspension angle of the crystal even exceeds the samples of Sukbae Lee, CEO of the Korean Quantum Energy Research Center, and is expected to achieve a truly contactless superconducting magnetic levitation. The UP is from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and his team is led by Chang Haixin, a professor at the School of Materials at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and includes postdoctoral fellow Hao Wu and doctoral student Li Yang.
However, different voices also emerged. The School of Materials Science and Engineering at Beihang University and the CSIR-National Physical Laboratory in India published papers saying that they did not replicate the LK-99 room temperature superconductivity experiment in South Korea, and the results did not confirm the existence of a large amount of superconductivity at room temperature.
In this competition for room-temperature superconductivity, companies related to the A-share superconducting sector have also responded. Yongding shares made it clear that the company
It is mainly engaged in the second generation of high-temperature superconducting strip and its application equipment, as well as superconducting electrical products. Although the company's superconducting flow limiter product technology obtained the provincial certification of new technology and new product identification in 2021, the company emphasized that it was not involved in the "room temperature superconductivity" related business, nor did it carry out relevant research and development and investment.
Western Superconductivity also made a clear response to the problem of "room-temperature superconductivity". They point out that "room temperature superconductivity" is still in the laboratory research stage and has not yet been commercialized. Western Superconductor has been focusing on the industrialization of low-temperature superconducting wires, and actively participates in the research and development and engineering of new high-temperature superconducting materials. They promised to continue to pay attention to the research progress of new superconducting materials and strengthen cooperation with universities and academies of science to promote the engineering and industrialization of superconducting materials at high temperature or even room temperature.
Farsheng also issued an announcement clarifying that they are not involved in the "room temperature superconductivity" related business, nor have they made relevant research and development and investment. Other listed companies such as Baili Electric, Hezheng Technology, Zhongtian Technology, Hancable Co., Ltd., etc. have also clarified and clearly stated that they are not involved in the "room temperature superconductivity" business.
So, what exactly does room temperature and atmospheric pressure superconducting materials mean? If this material can really be developed and mass-produced, it will bring about revolutionary changes. First, we can use room-temperature superconductors to make faster, more power-efficient computers and mobile phones, thereby improving the convenience of life. Secondly, room-temperature superconductors are expected to be applied to maglev trains and aircraft, enabling safer and more environmentally friendly means of transportation, greatly reducing friction and energy waste. In addition, room-temperature superconductors can be used to make more powerful and precise medical and scientific instruments, driving greater progress in medical detection and scientific research.
Analysis by Zheshang Securities pointed out that the realization of room temperature and atmospheric pressure superconductivity is expected to lead a new round of industrial revolution, because it will profoundly change the current energy system, information processing and transmission system, and bring great progress in medical detection, high-speed transportation and controllable nuclear fusion.
In summary, the breakthrough of room-temperature superconductivity has not only triggered enthusiasm in the global capital market, but also set off a storm of fierce competition in the field of science and technology. Whether in the laboratory research stage or the commercialization stage, the exploration of this field will have a profound impact on the future development of science and technology and industry. We look forward to seeing further breakthroughs in this field and how room temperature superconducting technology can change our world."
