I can't see why they'd skip replication given the uncertain status of the original process. They'd try to replicate as closely as possible, confirm they have a superconducting material, then they'd branch out from their established process. Starting from a variation means they don't know whether it doesn't work because of the variation or because it doesn't work at all.
- stu255 3y agoI hear some very clever labs can do more than one thing at a time.
- curiousObject 3y agoThat’s not unreasonable, but the high-risk, high-reward approach would be to let researchers elsewhere do basic verification, while you try to leap a step ahead of them by going directly to derivative variations. Abandon the work if nobody can replicate LK-99 within a few weeks and you haven’t really lost out badly.
