Love the idea of scientists racing to prove something. Give them 6 months… I’d have it done in 20 mins, granted it might be wrong but at least we’d have progress!

From the article and why stuff takes longer than 20 minutes.
In the past few weeks, euphoria over LK-99, a different material that scientists in South Korea say is a room-temperature superconductor, swept over social media, although much of that excitement has since calmed after other scientists were unable to confirm the superconductivity observations and came up with plausible alternative explanations.

This would be the final nail in the coffin for Twitter/X
