After a few intense weeks of speculation and drama, more and more labs have been able to recreate LK-99, also known as modified lead-apatite. The material was touted as the first-ever room-temperature ambient pressure superconductor, a claim that was met with healthy skepticism and excitement. After all, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
That sounds like there’s maybe variables not taken into consideration.
Tbh that’s the hopium speaking but I’ve taken a big dose of it.
Arstechnica has a great writeup here. Seems like the process is just so variable that recreating the exact substance will be very difficult, even if the original sample is confirmed - akin to Flash’s speed force experiment, or Steve Roger’s super serum.
