Preprint by Griffin from Livermore Labs gives a theoretical explanation of LK-99's superconductivity and also explains why labs are having a hard time synthesizing it. There are two Pb sites in the crystal structure that Cu can substit

I think this theoretical result by Griffin at the Livermore Lab explains why labs are having difficulty replicating the LK-99 sample: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.16892.pdf There are basically two repeating crystal cells

Here, buried in the bottom of the comments, is the most useful piece of information in the entire section. My question is what else has this fellow identified and what have Thiel et al. read and internalized?

These kind of NOTAMs are not routine, especially when they coincide with actual shootdowns.

It's wonderful to see his work being recognized. I was in bioinformatics grad school when the first major Neanderthal sequencing paper came out and it was a bombshell.

I went into college as a bassoon performance major and came out as a math major. This is so incredibly amazing to me and is one of the most serendipitous posts I've ever seen on HN.

Absolutely, he deserves a lot of respect and study. I find him to be one of the funniest poets ever. The unedited version of "An Anagram" [0] is one of the greatest and silliest put-downs recorded in English. 0 - http:/&#x2F

There is a theory that the mRNA sequences could have been reverse transcribed into the DNA of various organs, including liver cells. https://www.mdpi.com/1467-3045/44/3/73/htm is a in vitro (but not in v

There was a TGIF Q&A session in 2016 or 2017 and someone asked Sergei what his worst business decision at Google was, and he replied that it was slowing down and stopping hiring during 2008-2009.

It's simply good gear. A lot of my wardrobe has gone in this direction over the past decade because it's fairly easy to find highly functional garments with good materials and good construction that are actually cut for athletic p

That's amazing, thank you for creating that. Some of my favorite parts of the Fallout series were the little slices of frozen catastrophe hidden off in corners, piles of bones and old clothing and a suitcase full of items that told hal

Reminds me of a time that I played a Bitcoin poker game at some Google VP's place up in the hills with Charlie Lee and a few other early crypto luminaries in 2014. It took us over an hour to figure out sending BTC to the "buy-in&q

I think every single person in my lab was on a J-1. This was in the 2006-2010 timeframe, the H1B process for post-docs may be different now. I can think of one case where a researcher burned out on 80 hour weeks, got divorced, and was asked

Absolutely true. I saw this play out in my lab where we had 1-2 PhD students (including myself) and about 12-16 rotating postdocs. They worked insane hours for very little pay, no benefits, and produced 95% of the output of the lab. Our pro

Unless they establish that it's a single root system I wouldn't dethrone Pando just yet. From the description it's at least 9 separate seagrass beds, so I doubt it's all one system. As a side note, I'm going to see

Quoting a Superbowl ad, let alone an FTX Superbowl ad, as an example of wisdom is the surest sign to me that we are indeed in a monstrous bubble.

That's wild, I think we were Facebook friends for awhile after I interviewed and hung out over there on a few occasions. I was doing an onsite with Ilya and the folks at MixRank (in 2012) and talking with the team, and I mentioned some

As the layers of the stack increase in depth the probability that any one piece breaks the system approaches one. There will be a Singularity but it will be a horizontal asymptote instead of a vertical one.

Voting, freedom of movement, free speech . . . the possibilities are endless. New Zealand is certainly on the vanguard of this sort of political innovation.
