They were the first to "replicate". Probably already working on it.
LK-99 superconductor: Chinese researchers demonstrate magnetic levitation as proof - Interesting Engineering
Created in a four-day process by combining lanarkite minerals and copper phosphide, the superconductor, known as LK-99, may hold transformative potential akin to transistors in the past.

No I want it to work but not until the religious cult of science is destroyed. Any accidental progress is another decade of slavery to this ideology.

LK-99: Diamagnetc Semiconductor, Not Superconductor?
Every so often, along comes a story which, like [Fox Mulder] with his unexplained phenomena, we want to believe. EM drives and cold fusion for example would be the coolest of the cool if they worke…

Been around awhile. Remember them doing small sections of roads and sidewalks as a test bed before all the covid shit happened.

"The main issue in replication stems from the cloudy process described in the original Korean paper — the documentation for making the material is incredibly vague."
I wonder why some say science has a replicability crisis.
Don't worry guys this is still definitely real.

tl;dw It isn't really doing any of the things it is claimed to do yet, and only somewhat acts like a dielectric. Anton is a good presenter though if you don't look directly at him for all the edits, and don't mind his accent, so it is worth a listen if you have time.

There is a not very exciting history to it. Short version, MFF has told me dozens of times that we already have anti-gravity tech from either downed spacecraft or help from NHI or some other bullshit (fuck if I can get a straight answer about it), and it will be revealed any day now. I am skeptical of that claim. I'd LOVE for it to become a reality, so I'm not actually anti-antigravity, but we do not currently have anything remotely close yet.

Hard to say whether this is them saying that they intentionally/accidentally left out details in the process vs their publication not attempting to fully describe how to produce LK-99 and instead focused on its properties and existence.
If someone creates a super-material like LK-99 and there's a rush to publish it for whatever reason, it'll probably look something like this. If a group of scientists are out of money and are looking to scam some group for money, it'll probably look something like this.
I'm guessing the first group to publish solid info is the Korean verification committee. Unless they stall and the LK-99 creators publish the full recipe and someone else replicates it. Being a layman I don't really believe it until an American university publishes its findings and Neil Degrass Tyson makes a video about it with a lot of production value.
