Young-Wan Kwon Responds to Uproar over LK-99 in University Lecture
- gus_massa 3y ago> @Nature @dangaristo’s statements are nonsense. Discussed here in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37149349 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37149349 (2145 points | 22 days ago | 714 comments). The idea is that the production method creates also Cooper Sulfide that has some weird changes in conductivity similar to the reported, but it's not a superconductor. This alternative explanation is very convinced for me, sadly. > Only Lee Seok-bae can create Lk99 comment> The real world isn’t a Marvel movie. There’s no such thing as uniquely qualified people or their unique products. It's more complicated. I've seen people doing amazing stuff in the lab. Some early versions techniques are difficult to explain. <capital>IF</capital> the samples are confirmed, let's lock him in a lab doing more samples and teaching others the method for a year. After that, he get's a million dollar, a Nobel price, we promise to cite all his papers a so he max out any citation and h-index metrics known to humanity, serral let him win a SC2 game, the sky is the limit [scratch that] Elon promise him a trip around the Moon, ... whatever he wants. Anyway, after the Copper Sulfide report, I'm not longer optimistic :( .
