LK99 - The Ideology of a Futuristic Utopia

LK-99 is a room-temperature super-conductor developed by a trio of South Korean scientists. The compound consists of lead, copper, phosphorus and oxygen, and exhibits remarkable diamagnetic properties. With the invention of LK-99, the persistent issue of overheating of in our phones could become a thing of past, and battery problems might be significantly mitigated. Moreover, this advancement opens possibilities for development of hoverboards, offering futuristic means of transportation options that could substitute how we commute in the years to come. This invention paves way of a futuristic utopia, where technology integrates with our daily lives, making them more convenient.

Superconductors

To truly grasp the importance of LK-99, let's first understand what's a super-conductor. A super-conductor refers to any object or device which can transfer electricity with zero resistance but only in super cool temperatures (approaching absolute zero) or under high pressure. Additionally, they also radiate immense magnetic flux fields. There are two primary types of super-conductors; Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 superconductors expel all magnetic fields when the temperature is cool enough and they are transitioning into a superconductor, this phenomenon of expelling magnetic fields is known as Meissner's effect. Type 2 superconductors are those that are less sensitive to a change in temperatures and can operate in relatively higher temperatures as well, hence, not always expelling magnetic fields.
