My first thought was fusion reactors when I heard about it. They need super conductors to sustain their magnetic fields which is already a pain for various reasons.What are the applications?
This guy's very enthusiastic, but also knows what he's talking about. Gives a non-exhaustive rundown here:What are the applications?

Even something like a PC or PS5 (and pretty much any electrical component) would benefit. Something like a PS5 has most of the space allocated to cooling, plus a load of components to help with that (fans etc). 's only needed because of energy loss and the heat generated from it. All of those wouldn't be required theoretically so the material usage, costs and energy usage would all be a lot lower.No matter how many times I look into how superconductors work I'll never understand it, but they have an excellent name and lossless grid transmission and nuclear fusion are certainly exciting applications for the material if it's real, and I'm sure there are loads of other places where it could represent a quantum leap forward too. Fingers crossed!
I see, makes sense. Passive cooling everywhere that doesn't require motion would certainly be a huge benefit you'd think!Even something like a PC or PS5 (and pretty much any electrical component) would benefit.

Its gone 10 o'clock and you should be asleep by now. You need your sleep to have energy tomorrow.Explain like I’m 5 please.
Basically its a new kind of conductor that is as good as 100% efficient. In other words; that the power draw issues and everything that comes with it (heat) and is a big reason we're hitting the limits on tech development, will become a minimal or even a non issue. It's fascinating, exciting and scary at the same time.Explain like I’m 5 please.

Now go to bed.
Sounds exactly like what I say to my own kids!Its gone 10 o'clock and you should be asleep by now. You need your sleep to have energy tomorrow.

Is it bad of me to remain skeptical of tech developments inside the CCP?
It’s a bit late for you to start asking if it’s bad to be skeptical of any sort of tech surely?Is it bad of me to remain skeptical of tech developments inside the CCP?
Wasn't the first report on this material from South Korea?Is it bad of me to remain skeptical of tech developments inside the CCP?
Dunno, probably not, but one of the replications that came up negative was also Chinese and the first synthesis of this was in South Korea. Reckon it's healthy to be skeptical of such ground breaking discoveries in general though. Still probably much less than 50% chance that this is the Holy Grail ™ and much more likely the jumping off point for research into a new class of materials with interesting superconductive properties. Here's to hoping though, humanity could do with a bit of a break and a bunch of supercomputer simulations from different labs certainly seem to support its potential:Is it bad of me to remain skeptical of tech developments inside the CCP?

Ahh thanks, great replies, appreciate it.Dunno, probably not, but one of the replications that came up negative was also Chinese and the first synthesis of this was in South Korea.

Three of these are from the US. Obviously this isn't as good as experimentation but you'd like to think it provides a theoretical basis for room temperature ambient pressure superconductors in this type of material.
One thing the Chinese are really good at where science is concerned is their ability to try a whole lot of things in a short amount of time because of how many people they have available. That's especially useful when you want to synthesise exotic materials as there are so many combinations of the materials you use, the state and concentrations of them, the amounts of each of them and not least the recipe and methods for the synthesis. I wouldn't be surprised if a breakthrough would come from China where the synthesis of a material like this is concerned.Ahh thanks, great replies, appreciate it.
Obviously not yet peer reviewed but the lab behind the above video release a preprint of their replication study:Tweet

We have successfully grown the LK-99 materials with consistent diamagnetism transition (got it to float on a magnet) and large levitation angle at room temperature and ambient pressure. Our results show the importance of crystallinity and proper Cu doping, indicating the fundamental potential superconducting mechanism with copper-oxygen induced band changes in such phosphate oxides. We expect more consistent tests such as electrical tests in room temperature will show the great potential [in] such phosphate oxides
