◆ Peer review paper supporting the room temperature and pressure superconductivity of LK-99, published in academic journals of the American Physical Society (APS) and the American Chemical Society (ACS)
A peer review paper supporting the room temperature and pressure superconductivity of LK-99 was published by the American Physical Society and the American Chemical Society under the Association for Physics (AIP), the largest association of physicists representing American physics. It is said to have been registered in the academic journals of both societies (American Chemical Society).
Accordingly, it has been reported that a green light has been given for the review of APL Materials, which is also published by AIP Association Publishing, which is affiliated with the American Physical Society and the American Chemical Society journal.
Among the papers approved by the two journals, co-author of the ACS-listed paper, Aaron Walsh, is said to be a Distinguished Professor of Physics at Ewha Womans University and also currently serving as an advisor to the APL Materials journal, for which Quantum is awaiting the results.
With this news, superconductor themes such as Shinsung Delta Tech, Power Logics, Seonam, Deokseong, and Mobis rose.

◆ Bitcoin rise continues amid expectations of Bitcoin spot ETF approval, Bithumb IPO promoted
As expectations for approval of the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF continue, the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, surpassing $37,000.

◆ Hanmi Semiconductor, 3rd quarter earnings shock
Hanmi Semiconductor announced its third quarter 2023 earnings after the market closed on the 10th. Eugene Investment & Securities announced that Hanmi Semiconductor’s third quarter performance fell below consensus.
It was analyzed that the main reason why the decrease in operating profit was greater than the market expected was the setting of provisions due to changes in internal accounting standards and the delay in recognizing sales of MSVP (microSAW & VISION PLACEMENT) equipment.
There is no doubt that it is the small and medium-sized company that is closest to benefiting from the increase in demand as the HBM market blooms in the future, but it is still difficult to be free from the effects of the sluggish macro environment, he said.
He mentioned that the company is going through a process of changing its sales structure due to increased sales of MSVP equipment that can handle 2.5D Bonder and glass substrates along with its new flagship equipment, HBM TC Bonder.
Meanwhile, according to the ‘Export and Import Status for November 1 to 10’ announced by the Korea Customs Service on this day, the export amount was $18.237 billion, a 3.2% increase compared to the same period last year, and the average daily export amount considering the number of operating days was $2.15 billion. It increased by 3.2%. In particular, semiconductor exports increased by 1.3% compared to the same period last year, but the export proportion decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 15.3%.
With this news, HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) theme stocks such as Hanmi Semiconductor, Laser Cell, Wort, DT, PSK Holdings, STI, and EO Technics, and semiconductor-related stocks such as Pemtron, Protech, Hana Micron, ISC, and Genitics also fell.
▷Hanmi Semiconductor 3rd quarter 2023 performance: Consolidated sales of KRW 31.199 billion (-61.15% compared to the same period last year), operating profit of KRW 2.903 billion (-90.98% compared to the same quarter of the previous year), net profit of KRW 14.668 billion (-62.09% compared to the same quarter of the previous year).
