The heat capacity results indicated that the new model is suitable for explaining the superconductivity of LK-99. The unique structure of LK-99 that allows the minute distorted structure to be maintained in the interfaces is the most important factor that LK-99 maintains and exhibits superconductivity at room temperatures and ambient pressure.

If true, that would have world-changing implications. I tried looking, but didn't see a paper to go with it or a second lab to confirm it. Still, very cool and hopefully will be confirmed.

Same thoughts here. I'm not in material sciences, so a lot of the paper is over my head, but if Meissner effect is observed at room temperature with ambient pressure, that's huge. Hope to see this confirmed in the future.
