According to Foresight News, South Korean company ROOMCON has announced significant progress in the field of decentralized science (DeSci) research. The team led by Professor Kim Yong-jin has successfully developed a lead-based composite material superconductor sample that exhibits a notable decrease in electrical resistance near room temperature. This breakthrough challenges the conventional understanding that superconductors require extremely low temperatures, providing new experimental evidence for room-temperature superconductivity.
Professor Kim explained that the research demonstrates how dynamic control of environmental variables such as temperature, voltage, and magnetic fields can induce novel physical behaviors. Several institutions have already expressed interest in obtaining samples and collaborating on further research, with some verification experiments already underway. ROOMCON's decentralized funding mechanism has also garnered attention for its efficiency and autonomy.
