I thought this saga ended already?
- deyiao 3y agoYes, especially since this paper was published following the Korean Validation Committee's statement on the 13th, which did not support LK-99. However, the Chinese team's experimental data is quite substantial, and the material they synthesized is also difficult to classify as LK99.
- KennyBlanken 3y agoThere's so much academic fraud in Chinese labs, this paper is worthless.
- missedthecue 3y agoI don't think this is a fair comment. Relative to both its population and its economic size, Chinese articles are over-represented in prestigious peer-reviewed journal publications (think Nature and Science). Do some trash articles out of china find their way into journals? Yes. But if you think the US/EU doesn't put out some garbage as well, I can tell you're not in academia. Is this specific paper worth anything? I don't know. But I do know it's entirely unfair to simply write off an entire country out of hand.
- hilbert42 3y ago"Is this specific paper worth anything?" Yes! Simply because someone will have to either validate its findings or show that they're incorrect. Also, you're right about the comment being unfair. Diamonds are often found amongst much dross and rubble.
- Uptrenda 3y agoAny bold statements made that can't be supported will quickly be shot down by other teams. So long as they've been transparent enough about their methodology others can try replicate their results. You don't have to like China or w/e for Chinese research to be valid.
- resource0x 3y agoIt was only Season 1.
- hilbert42 3y agoRight. Something's going on, further seasons will determine what. Fingers crossed.
- selimthegrim 3y agoDid the Soviet catgirl sign up for the next season?
- est 3y agoThis sample was (very) different from the original LK99.
- sanxiyn 3y agoWhy do you think this?
