Kwon introduces, but Lee presents. Audience is frustrated by presentation in Korean which is then translated. They claim a weak Meissner effect. It maybe it only works in a thin film. He says they need to run a current through the material in order to levitate it. He doesn’t have a sample of the material on hand. The data looks like spotty and unsophisticated.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though some of this is superficial, if the &amp;quot;look&amp;quot; holds true, it seems there&amp;#x27;s a lot of drama under the tip of the iceberg (that would make a good Netflix documentary), and it&amp;#x27;s increasingly unlikely this is a true scientific breakthrough. :(</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>brucethemoose2</author><text>I am going to repost whywhy&amp;#x27;s link. Not sure why it was zapped, as I have seen this screenshot elsewhere:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;elsazhou.medium.com&amp;#x2F;lk99-chinese-replication-efforts-a21318e4a71&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;elsazhou.medium.com&amp;#x2F;lk99-chinese-replication-efforts...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; However, the Meissner effect, a key characteristic of superconductors, has yet to be observed. The issue seems to lie in the purity of the superconducting material, which is currently only a few percent. Despite this, the conversation implies optimism, stating, “if we have made a start this problem will be solved quickly.”</text></comment>
