Superconductors on Hugging Face? What?

Honestly, this has nothing immediate to do with AI updates, but, if it pans out, it’s so revolutionary that it will affect AI also!

Here’s what we know about LK-99 so far:

* 2 papers released on arXiv (and hugging face haha) in the span of several hours

* First AND second paper both claim extraordinary claims of solving ambient superconductivity

* Ambient pressure and room temp superconductive material called LK-99

* Straightforward process with a clear replication manual and fairly common materials

* Papers lack rigor, potentially due to rushing out or due to fighting for credit for nobel prize

* The science is potentially sound, and is being “baked and reproduced in multiple labs” per science mag.
