A potential "room-temperature" semiconductor?

Not another one :p

Oh no, a potential revolution in technology, again. How tedious.

copper substituted lead apatite is literally what lk-99 was. Obviously the exact number and process could be different but colour me extremely skeptical after how that played out.

Call me when it gets past being a headline in some tech journal.

There are many room-temperature semiconductors, for example silicon.

Meissner effect is related to superconductors

Pretty much all my semiconductors operate well above room temperature! (relatively)
