Same goes for lightning a fire without and with a lighter.

F-Droid says the app hasn't been updated in the last 14 months. Is the project still worked on? It says beta on the website.

How did you like the last season of Ted Lasso?

No downloading much anyways, but if I were to start, how would I go about scanning the files properly? Could you recommend something to read up on the topic?

I switched from Jerboa to Sync, as I felt Jerboa was not registering my upvotes? In addition I somehow couldn't subscribe to communities. (Maybe all user error.)

Why this is evidence: The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.

Caveats There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.

Take-away If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.

This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.
