Under the guidance of Professor Haixin Chang, postdoctor Hao Wu and PhD student Li Yang from the School of Materials Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology successfully for the first time verified the LK-99 crystal that can be magnetically levitated with larger levitated angle than Sukbae Lee‘s sample at room temperature. It is expected to realize the true potential of room temperature, non-contact superconducting magnetic levitation.

Can someone please explain if this is enough to prove the existence? What additional test would need to be run to be absolutely sure?

Zero resistance while conducting electricity. Levitating is nice but the important part is zero resistance.

It would be ironic if we got floating rocks but no superconductivity.

The video stopped very shortly into it for me and prompted some chinese message on the screen, just before he inserted the magnet. Has anyone got a rehosted link to the video that is less likely to get me on some kind of list?

It would be fascinating if this was legitimate.

There's a Twitter post [0] that links to a version of this video [1] with English subtitles. Probably a better link since most HN users are English speakers.

It's a login prompt and you can close it to keep watching. But as linked in another comment, this link may be easier for non-Chinese viewers: https://targum.video/v/2023/8/1/e2ad3b8e86961ccfdcf411d2d4d1...
