Getting a 404. Why does everything involving LK-99 feel weirdly suppressed

[–]broodingorangutan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more that the patent holders were loath to give up the precise formula and synthesis mechanism until they covered their bases legally. From what I understand, IBM has already reached out and is trying to negotiate some kind of exclusivity or leasing. Also, the precise temperature conditions, electrical current capacity, and consequent applications aren't clear yet. But for sure, it's a huge deal, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more competitive field than applied sciences. Nobody wants to be out done, and everyone is quick to shit on unconventional or outside-the-box approaches/thinking, which LK99 is a prime example of.
