• 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.

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.
