>we successfully verify and synthesize the LK-99 crystals which 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 in near future.

Aaaand we’re back!

I’m really trying to remain (reasonably, not ideologically) skeptical but if this is legit this is a huge step towards confirmation.

Korean scientists embody key cultural values: (Jeong) fosters deep bonds and commitment to their work; (In-gan-mi) encourages inherent honesty and sincerity; (Che-Myun) upholds honor, discouraging dishonesty; and Confucianism instills respect, loyalty, and duty. These values shape their dedication to research integrity and professional conduct. I choose to believe!

Wow, is this it? Is this the confirmation?

From what little I understand the levitation effect doesn’t necessarily equal all the properties of a superconductor. It’s one of them though.

Are other forms of diamagnetism temperature dependat?

Because this one is.

Seems to be the same one that had a video a couple of days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36953396 Back then, many asked if this was superconduction or merely diamagnetism. Does the new paper shine any light on this question?
