"Insanely Bullish For Humanity": Hype Soars Around New "LK-99" Superconductor Material

As of 2 August 2023, the material has not been confirmed to be superconducting at any temperature. The synthesis of LK-99 and observation of its superconductivity have not been peer-reviewed or independently replicated.[4]
The announcement was widely shared and the reaction by the scientific world was mainly skeptical due to the extraordinary nature of the claims,[5] and errors and inconsistencies in the pre-published papers.
Independent teams are attempting to replicate the South Korean team's work, with results expected in August 2023 owing to the straightforward method of producing the material.[5]

JUNK SCIENCE OR THE END OF HEAT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS?
Well, to be clear...
dat guy started a company called UnEarthly Materials.
(unearthly means out-of-this-world)
and he calls the material "redmatter"...
it's from a show Star Trek.
(material dat comes from black holes)
i would've call the matter...tribbles.
