I doubt i even need to read the article. I saw one with the same premise about a month a go. Sent it to my sister who sent me an email about her new pricey blue light wave eyeglasses that she paid a price premium for. Trying to reinforce her purchase choice by sharing and thinking it was a good thing. Explained how i worked on a pitch about two years prior based on some pretty flimsy "research" that was turned into marketing. I recently saw wired run an article about some ford head lamps based on the same "science". I will say marketing as science is great for a positive placebo effect.

Science: who would have believed in such madness.
"While dark matter has yet to be directly observed by scientists, it is generally considered a vital ingredient in the birth of galaxies.
Now it seems that at least some galaxies exist with lots of stars and gas and hardly any dark matter. It is pretty bizarre."
- madness? please ...monospaced
- it's not a belief system ... if they discover their "belief" is not accurate, it's up for revision, which is the case in this situation I suppose :)monospaced

"National Lab (LBNL) results support LK-99 as a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor."
"Simulations published 1 hour ago on arxiv support LK-99 as the holy grail of modern material science and applied physics.
(arxiv.org/abs/2307.16892)Here's the plain-english explanation:
- The simulations modeled what the original Korean authors proposed was happening to their material - where copper atoms were percolating into a crystal structure and replacing lead atoms, causing the crystal to strain slightly and contract by 0.5%. This unique structure was proposed to allow this amazing property.- @sineatrix from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab simulated this using heavy-duty compute power from the Department of Energy, and looked to see what would happen to the 'electronic structure' of this material, meaning, what are the available conduction pathways in the material.
- It turns out that there are conduction pathways for electrons that are in just the right conditions and places that would enable them to 'superconduct'. More specifically, they were close to the 'Fermi Surface' which is like the sea-level of electrical energy, as in '0 ft above sea-level.' It's believed currently that the more conduction pathways close to the Fermi surface, the higher the temperature you can superconduct at (An analogy might be how its easier for planes to fly close to the surface of the ocean due to the 'ground effect' that gives them more lift.)
This plot in particular shows the 'bands', or electron pathways, crossing above and below the Fermi surface.
- Lastly, these interesting conduction pathways only form when the copper atom percolates into the less likely location in the crystal lattice, or the 'higher energy' binding site. This means the material would be difficult to synthesize since only a small fraction of crystal gets its copper in just the right location.
This is insanely bullish for humanity."
