• Progress update
=> We are trying to find the optimum manufacturing conditions for our Room Temperature Ambient Pressure Superconductor, CES-2023, according to the identified composition.
=> This material is more difficult to manufacture than we expected.
=> Currently we made a few batches of samples. The samples are not well made and fragile.
=> Nevertheless, we see the superconducting diamagnetic behavior of small samples, as shown below.
=> We hope to show the full levitation in one month.
=> New sample April 18, 2025
=> new sample, April 20, 2025. Diamagnetic behavior of a new sample.

• Dr. Kim gave an oral talk on our Room Temperature Ambient Pressure Superconductor, CES-2023, at the American Physical Society (APS) March meeting in Anaheim Convention Center on March 21, 2025.
Summary: 1. quasi-1 dimensional superconductivity cannot have bulk high Tc, because the required intrinsic Josephson
coupling between superconducting filaments in 2-dimensional directions are not possible, as confirmed by
organic superconductors with chain structure.
2. Manufacturing issues and characterization issues for small samples and impure samples were discussed.
3. The composition of pure CES-2023 has been identified EDS. It is different from LK-99.
Lead (Pb) is the backbone of our CES-2023, as shown by the EDS Pb distribution mapping.

=> On February 11, 2025, we did EDS (energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) measurements of our room temperature superconductor, CES-2023. We identified the compositions of CES-2023 sample. We are ready for mass production.

Our low purity sample shows the superconducting transition at Tc = 104 degree C, in agreement with the previous result by quantum locking, based on the Meissner effect. Using the pure samples, resistance vs T will be measured soon.
For comparison, we show the Nobel Prize winning resistance vs T of LaBaCuO by Bednorz and Muller.
