re: Possible massive physics breakthrough: Room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor

The so-called breakthrough comes from a lab operating in someone's basement (per Bloomberg).

Per today's article in Nature,

quote:

---

The first attempts to replicate LK-99, reported in the past days, have not improved the material’s prospects. None of the studies provide direct evidence for any superconductivity in the material.

Theorists have also entered the fray. None of the studies found evidence that LK-99 is a superconductor at ambient conditions.

ETA: nice basement
