On Why LK-99 Will Change Almost Nothing
Ceramic Superconductors: LK-99's Dance with Fragility and the Cold Reality of Possibilities
Alright, folks, gather ’round and let’s dive into the intricacies of why this LK-99 business is hardly going to send shockwaves through the world. Now, I know some of you might be itching for a groundbreaking revolution, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?
You see, the crux of the matter is ceramics – yes, those seemingly innocuous, breakable materials that have more in common with your grandma’s china set than with technological marvels you see in science-fiction movies. And while I appreciate the enthusiasm, let’s not wrap this up just yet. Ceramics Superconductors, my dear comrades, they’re a finicky bunch.
How so? Well…
Making wires out of ceramics? Oh, splendid idea, really, except it’s about as easy as herding cats during a thunderstorm. Ceramics, they don’t take well to being molded into those sleek, efficient wires we’re so fond of. Oh no, they prefer the path of fragility, just to keep us on our toes.
And brittle? You bet your bottom dollar they are! These ceramics superconductors like LK-99, they shatter like dreams of perpetual motion. Now, put that fragility together with their reluctance to play nice in a multitude of applications – be it the nifty batteries in your precious gadgets, the inner workings of zippy electric scooters, or even the pulsing heart of Maglev trains hurtling down supercharged power lines. They’re just not cut out for it, I’m afraid.
Oh, but the tale doesn’t stop there, my friends. Even grander ambitions are dashed against the unyielding walls of ceramics superconductors. Medical contraptions, the likes of MRIs? Aye, still too much for ceramics to bear in a scale, when proven manufacturing processes are in place, and no real incentives in R&D space because 2020. Scientific juggernauts like ITER? Well, let’s just say ceramics don’t take kindly to such cosmic aspirations, but we are closer to the real applications now… means big, heavy, and stational…
So why, oh why, has this whole ceramics superconductor frenzy not left a dent in the universe? Allow me to deliver the verdict – it’s because they’re ceramics, plain and simple. The mechanical properties of LK-99 and its ceramic superconductors compatriots… well, let’s just say they don’t play well with the superheroes’ narrative our media are pushing now. They have been with us for 20-30 years now, and the commercialization of pretty much all of them are still in the startup phase.
Sometimes, my friends, even the most daring dreams need a solid dose of reality…
