The attention of industries and scientists around the world is focused on the superconductor LK-99 announced by the Republic of Korea. A superconductor refers to the conduction of electric current, and it is a conductor that conducts electricity.A superconductor is a material that exhibits superconductivity and the effect (diamagnetism), in which electrical resistance becomes zero. As it is known that the theory advocated by Professor Choi Dong-Sik (1943-2017) of the Department of Chemistry at Korea University, who laid the foundation for research on superconductors throughout his life, has been researched for over 20 years, interest in Professor Choi as a pioneer who has laid the theoretical foundation is also increasing.
Professor Choi Dong-Sik and his students challenged their goals and made efforts with perseverance even under difficult and difficult circumstances to discover new materials in the natural world. His students challenged their goals according to Professor Choi's teachings and did their best until they overcame difficulties and completed the final run on superconductor LK-99. Eventually, their efforts and passion contributed to the research and development of superconductors.
The Republic of Korea must now play a role as a world-centered country. As one of the 10 largest economies in the world, it is leading the manufacturing and ICT sectors such as semiconductors and shipbuilding. Also, K-POP and K-Culture contain the spirit of our nation. These achievements and successes are the result of the tenacious efforts, virtues, and passion of Koreans who did not give up even in the ruins of war.
Korea needs to demonstrate leadership as a world-core country
As a world-core nation, we must exercise leadership and play a greater role in the international community based on our history and national spirit through order and contribution. When you think of a world center, China comes to mind. It is said that China considered itself the center of the world and called itself the "Center of China". However, China established diplomatic relations with the Republic of Korea in the era of Deng Xiaoping, and since then, China has been able to develop today because Korea helped China when it was difficult and difficult.
Korea should always remember and be grateful for the Republic of Korea, a core country in the world that transferred numerous technologies to China and created the production base for all industries. Through thousands of years of history, our people have spread their shoulders vigorously and made efforts toward the world as they do now. The reason why we were able to succeed in the industry the fastest among many developing countries in the late 21st century while maintaining the identity of the Republic of Korea is that we cared for others with a diligent spirit.
We are now facing a new challenge. The current era is the chat GPT era that brought about the AI revolution. When ChatGPT put in huge parameters, the artificial neural network came to realize itself, and it became a black box that even humans could not understand. Recently, the reason cannot be explained, so Ai, or Explainable Ai, is a hot topic. Even in the background of the superconductor LK-99, you can see the advanced technology of fire in the process of making Korean pottery. Baked at 800 ~ 1000 ℃ is called 'Pottery', fired at 1100 ~ 1400 ℃ is called 'Porcelain', and together they are called ceramics. In addition, medium-sized bowls of power generation that have not reached the temperature of becoming porcelain at around 1000 ° C are called Stoneware, and Earthenware (including unglazed ones fired at low temperatures below 800 ° C and especially unbaked ones)Greenware).
Leadership spirit of 'New 3 Lee'
In any case, in this chaotic situation, I think the patriotic spirit of the three ri is necessary to lay the foundation for international status. The 3 Lee stands for KingSejong, Admiral Lee Sun-sin, and Classical scholarLee Hwang. Admiral Lee Sun-sin explained to his soldiers why they had to fight against all odds. For comfortable communication among the people, the King of Sejong(Lee) thought only of the people and created the world's only Hangeul with Sound, the Korean language. Admiral Lee Sun-sin sacrificed himself while fulfilling his responsibility to the end to protect the country and its people. Classical scholar Lee Hwang's philosophy was to respect people.
We who live in modern times also need the strong leadership of 'New 3 Lee' with this special patriotic philosophy. From labor productivity to industrial productivity, we are now living in an age of knowledge productivity. This means we live in an age of mobility. We live in an era where we search for various knowledge with smartphones in our hands, produce it through smartphones, and create and create the value of knowledge. And the next generation lives in the era of cyber productivity where they have to live with AI ChatGPT as lifelike avatars in the Metaverse. What is most needed in this era is a superconductor.
Where superconductors are used in industry, it is possible to achieve advanced semiconductor devices and circuits that are faster than today, and quantum computers the size of laptops can come out. In addition, since superconductors have no electrical resistance, they will bring about a dramatic change in power transmission that can withstand high currents without energy loss due to resistance.
In addition, it is possible to make a portable scan type of a household-level superconductor MRI device required for medical diagnosis today. A superconducting material can emit a magnetic field from within, creating a magnetic levitation train with superconductivity as a powerful electromagnet. Superconductors are also an accelerating advance in Q-bit quantum computers. Room-temperature superconductors will eliminate the problem of high operating costs in general industry and make them easier to use and more convenient. In addition, room-temperature superconductors will enable ultra-high-speed digital communication of broadband wireless communication with superpowers, and short communication time with next-generation computers will be. It will also enable new advances in numerous fields related to biomedical and security applications, materials and structural analysis, deep space radio astrophysics technology, and energy.
Professor Choi Dong-sik of the Department of Chemistry at Korea University, who laid the foundation for the research of superconductor LK-99, told his students that they should figure out the exact principle through a will and then inform the world. If LK-99 is revealed as a whole candle or as a new material comparable to the superconductor, he will be remembered as a valuable person who laid the foundation for LK-99 research. Koreans have a strong pioneering spirit of life to pioneer the future and have a passion to actively challenge themselves. If such a wonderful and amazing LK-99 turns out to be a superconductor or a new material comparable to it, Koreans will quickly communicate with world scientists and share the value of technology with global friends who are researching.
Historically, Koreans have a strong pioneering spirit of life to pioneer the future and have a passion to actively challenge themselves. Also, Korea has historically cooperated and shared knowledge with other countries in various fields. We are opening the door to industrial technology transfer in various fields to contribute to the development of the world with an open mind.
