It's about time someone said something...but this article doesn't say much of anything.
The two video's I've run across, demonstrating this LK-99, are what really stand out to me, causing my skepticism. The levitating looks like some (underwhelming) tricks you can do with a ferrous item, a magnet, and a chunk of di-magnetic in-between them. The hanging video, he shouldn't need to shake the magnet. That makes me think of a para-magnetic, like copper.
A room temperature superconductor, of an abundant material, that is easy to make, would be awesome. Maybe they found something unique. Yet, at a glance is doesn't seem like your standard superconductor.
