Why is the recent news around the LK-99 room-temperature superconductor such a big deal? What material impact would those findings have on electronics and modern technology?

Bear in mind the paper(s) has not been peer reviewed, and nobody has replicated the material, and the video they released is not very convincing. A room temperature superconductor would be huge news, if they actually created one.

If it’s not peer reviewed then why tf are we talking about it like it’s true? The whole point of peer review is to avoid this bullshit buzz that the news thrives on.

I have no idea, that's why I made my comment lol.

Saw this earlier today on Tom's Hardware, haven't dived much deeper into the sources than that, but it seems promising that it may not be a fake
