Like I said, a successful replication could happen at any moment. I was just cautioning that failures to replicate this early mean barely anything, and it would be historically extremely lucky if a paper like this (materials science, complicated synthesis, not well written) got replicated inside six months. Basically, unless evidence of fraud comes out we're not going to be able to rule out this result being real for months, at least. Also, we could get some really great evidence or a successful replication any day. It's just a waiting game.
