I sometimes check the wikipedia page to see what's been done

Even if it doesn't pan out, maybe it will still advance superconductor development otherwise via government and private investment.

What everyone following the stuff online seems to forget is that the replication attempts and samples so far are based on a leaked, apparently incomplete version of the LK99 paper.

Supposedly, a University in Taiwan is working to validate the full version of the paper and the material, and the authors of the paper say that once confirmation is complete (and is successful) they will release the full version of the paper... sometime in 2024.

We'll see what happens, I guess.
