S Korea experts to test superconductor breakthrough claimBloombergSouth Korean experts have created a committee to verify claims about a potential breakthrough in superconductor technology that has been driving both excitement and controversy among markets and industry participants. The Korean Society of Superconductivity and Cryogenics (KSSC) asked the Quantum Energy Research Centre to submit samples that are required in the verification process of room-temperature superconductors, the institution said in a statement on Wednesday. Excitement grew further after a video of a team of Chinese scientists replicating the South Korean team’s findings went viral. Research institutes of KSSC members are to conduct cross verification if the Quantum Energy Research Centre provides samples, the statement said. Meanwhile, investors continued to pile into some South Korean stocks seen as related to superconductors, even as the stock exchange warned of speculative bets and unfair trades.
