Online Comic Explains Why the LK99 Superconductor is So Hard to Make

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com, by Brian Wang

Why is the LK99 Superconductor so hard to make?

– take a bunch of Lead, burn it together with a bunch of Copper
– make a crystal matrix with exactly ONE location where the Lead gets bumped off and replaced by a Copper atom
– purely on a combinatorial basis, if this was happening every day, you'd be successful once a month (1 in 31)

-> Then line up multiples of these in one long line, to form the superconducting highway
-> This highway is the 1-dimensional superconducting channel

, Qcenter patents claim they have a method to make a vapor and deposit it as a thin film on a surface like a piece of glass
-> This changes the concentration and purity of the substance and allows the superconductivity to emerge
-> Remember! Superconductivity is the absence of things that slowdown the electrons. So a single obstacle, can block the entire tunnel.. making the electrons go the slow route

JH Kim and the other researchers have brought us close but it is still hard and we need to measure the thin film sample.
