🧵1/n - Just as nuclear energy tapped into the power of the atom, superconductors will harness the electron. The measured but consistent flow of affirming results of the LK-99 paper has consequential impacts on defense doctrine & innovation.

@mrJackLevin Sounds like the approach Pi has taken

First claimed successful replication of LK-99

Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.

Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.

Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.

Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.

This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.

The attached video shows a small flake of their sample responding to an external magnetic field. I scroll through the video to skip to the relevant part.

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

@maximbroadcast @mrJackLevin What use cases would this have?

@mrJackLevin @lou_permaul if that could be pushed by 2 hours (12pm) that would be helpful for all of us Xenians in the Pacific region

@PulseKittens There is no way that I can see for those who sacd for Pulse/Pulsex via the Staker app to claim this Airdrop. Even though we are eligible

@KatieePCrypto Seen this while n the UK. WTF it is not even genders anymore. https://t.co/Pnu0qNHZGt

@ApeVentura1 @WillingWitness It means nothing, just someone messing with the equipment or doing something that effected the cosmic vibrations measured at the Russian station.

[The Gaffer @davegaff2]

@WillingWitness This was only recorded in Russia. No where else like France, Canada etc has seen this. If it was just a calibration or something else it is only localised
