Currently, at least three new papers related to LK-99 have been published on the pre-print website arXiv. Two of these are from China. On August 1, researcher Sun Yan and researcher Liu Peitao of the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who are the corresponding authors of the aforementioned paper studying LK-99, said that they mainly carried out theoretical calculations. Judging from the calculation results, there is a possibility that LK-99 is superconducting at room temperature; from the perspective of the energy belt, they gave some explanations, “but not confirmation (but this is not confirmation).” At the same time, Sun Yan said, “There is still a gap (gap) between theory and experiments.” “This cannot be predicted; it can only be said that it has the chance (room temperature superconductivity),” but whether LK-99 can actually enter the superconducting state at room temperature and pressure still needs to be tested in actual experiments. However, a research team from the School of Materials Science and Engineering of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics tested the synthetic LK-99 and found that its room temperature resistance was not zero, nor was it observed that it was magnetically levitated. According to the paper, the above materials exhibit characteristics similar to semiconductors rather than superconductors. In the aforementioned paper, Sinead M. Griffin stated that through calculation of functional density theory, it was discovered that the LK-99 model had common characteristics of high transition temperatures in the superconductor family. In addition to the paper mentioned above, there are also netizens who have published experimental data and videos claiming that LK-99 synthesized in repeated experiments showed some antimagnetic properties, but no superconductivity or superconducting magnetic levitation was observed.
