LK-99, the room temperature semi-conductor which wasn’t

So no surprises there

Researchers seem to have solved the puzzle of LK-99 and have ruled out that the material was a superconductor, and clarified its actual properties.

For a while, it was thought that LK-99, a compound of copper, lead, phosphorus and oxygen, might be the first superconductor that works at room temperature and ambient pressure as an initial paper did prove promising.

The most striking evidence for LK-99's superconductivity was a Korean team video showing a coin-shaped sample of silvery material wobbling over a magnet. The team said the sample was levitating because of the Meissner effect -- a hallmark of superconductivity in which a material expels magnetic fields.
