室温超导?7月27日最新
最新! 此次室温超导事件已登上《Science》新闻:Breaking Superconductor News Derek Lowe简单概述并较保守地评价了这一突发新闻。“下注吧,各位,下注”。
"LK-99 isn’t that material, or at least not yet. It may not be anything - we’ll know soon. But it could also signal a transition point in human history. Place your bets, folks, place your bets."(Science)
这对论文的作者们可谓一场“豪赌”,而我们作为观众至少不会损失太多。
根据New Scientist上的消息:其中一篇文章作者之一Hyun-Tak Kim已接受采访并表示欢迎复现实验结果。Kim还表示等文章通过同行评议发表后,将支持其他研究人员独立合成并表征LK-99。
"Once the findings are published in a peer-reviewed journal, which Kim says is in the works, he will support anyone who wants to create and test LK-99 for themselves."(New Scientist)
Kim在接受采访时表示视频中材料仅一端抬起系样品不纯所致。他表示自己和同事正在尝试进一步优化样品,并提到将会努力去实现这一“奇迹般的”超导材料的大规模生产。
"In the meantime, he and his colleagues will continue to work on perfecting their samples of the alleged miracle superconductor and move towards mass-producing it."(New Scientist)

另一篇文章,也是疑似冲击《Nature》及诺奖的文章(三人作者、内容较短),出现了另外的通讯作者。 Kim在接受采访时表示该文章(三人作者文章)存在较多问题,且发表时未经Kim同意(Kim并非三人作者之一)。也是在此文章中,作者使用了“人类文明新纪元”来表示该成果的重要程度。
"Both papers present similar measurements, however Kim says that the second paper contains “many defects” and was uploaded to arXiv without his permission. In that paper, the work is described as opening a “new era for humankind”."(New Scientist)

已经有通讯作者出来背书了,冒用署名基本排除,但两篇文章作者差异较大,尤其是通讯作者存在变化,具体原因尚不清楚。 目前来看,已有多名相关从业人员从数据真实性、完整性等角度锐评了文章内容,并对该突破的真实性持消极态度。当然了,反对和质疑声并不能宣判Kim等人的学术生涯“死刑”,这场学术“豪赌”的结果还得等到复现结果“出炉”。
