T플랙스 is showing strong performance. The stock of T플랙스, a rare earth-related company, has gained attention following the announcement of research results by domestic researchers who discovered a room-temperature superconducting material.
As of 10:32 AM on the 31st, T플랙스 is trading at 3,705 KRW, up 5.56% compared to the previous day.
According to industry sources, on the 22nd, two papers about superconductors exhibiting superconductivity under room temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions were posted on the preprint site 'arXiv.' The authors include Lee Seok-bae, CEO of Quantum Energy Research Institute and company researcher, Kwon Young-wan, research professor at Korea University, Oh Geun-ho, emeritus professor at Hanyang University, and Dr. Kim Hyun-tak, who worked at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) until last year.
Room-temperature superconductors have long been a dream in the scientific community. Superconductivity refers to the phenomenon where electrical resistance in metals or other materials drops to zero below a certain temperature. Eliminating electrical resistance reduces energy loss caused by resistance, making it highly applicable in technologies such as maglev trains and power grids. However, currently, superconductivity can only be achieved under extremely low temperatures or ultra-high pressures, limiting its practical use.
Meanwhile, T플랙스 distributes rare metal materials such as titanium, nickel, tungsten, and molybdenum. Rare metals are metals with limited production volume and restricted production locations, including coltan, essential for electronic products, lithium used in battery materials, rare earth elements, and molybdenum. Rare earth elements conduct heat and electricity well, making them widely used in various fields such as electrical, electronic, catalytic, optical, and superconducting materials.
