#12Now I don’t know what to believe.
I'd wait for Nobel prize.

NEW and IMPORTANT : Study performed at Lanzhou University heavily indicate that successful synthesis of the LK-99 superconductor requires annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. They are suggesting that the final synthesis occurs in an oxygen atmosphere rather than in vacuum.
The original three author LK99 paper and nearly every subsequent attempt at replication involved annealing in the suggested vacuum of 10^-3 torr.
This paper indicates that the superconductivity aspects of the material are greatly enhanced if heated in normal atmosphere.
Authors are Kun Tao, Rongrong Chen, Lei Yang, Jin Gao, Desheng Xue and Chenglong Jia, all from aforementioned Lanzhou University

why would this be the case? (not a chemist, but was trained in physics)

Why do you need to believe anything at this point. Unless you regularly dance at the bleeding edge of material science, either sit back and enjoy the show, or change the channel and watch something else.

#17At this point, profit off the morons still clinging to the hype in the betting markets and move on.
I guarantee some people will be clinging to claims that LK-99 was a superconductor even 5 years from now, just like the cold fusion crowd that still exists.

This seems super interesting, waiting to see if this sparks another round of fabrication attempts!

I already predicted that there will always be a group of people who don't agree with the majority.
