Sabine Hossenfelder predicted that the first superconducting replications will fail and then we will never hear of LK-99 and doped Larkanite superconductors again. Sabine predicts first published replication attempts for making superconducting LK99 would be failures. This was correct.The first two published experimental replications from India and China were negative (aka they did not find …
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab simulated this using heavy-duty compute power from the Department of Energy, and looked to see what would happen to the ‘electronic structure’ of this material, meaning, what are the available conduction pathways in the material. It turns out that there are conduction pathways for electrons that are in just the right …

If reports that Argonne National Lab has completed synthesis of LK-99, proposed room temperature superconductor from South Korean researchers, are correct then characterization information should be released in 1-3 days. This would be consistent with the expectation that major labs are trying to replicate, falsify and investigate the LK-99 material. Quotes from the Journal Science …
