Eiri Sanada's personal blog at eirifu.wordpress.com covers science and writing. Since 2023, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 7 times, most often “LK-99: The Live Online Race for a Room-Temperature Superconductor”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-11-01, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it

What Hacker News says?
I found another place that's maintaining replication results too: https://eirifu.wordpress.com/2023/07/30/lk-99-superconductor... It's interesting they marked one of the claims as "likely fraudulent" but the guy at the spacebattles one hasn't. The video doesn't seem to be related at all to the 4 samples one, so I'm not sure why they think it's likely fraudulent.

HN discussionNot sure if you're implying she's cooked up a few crucibles at home purely for internet attention (nor what the relevance of her political views are here), but regardless the thread is interesting either way as it's generating lot of general interest in replication. This is perhaps a better link: https://eirifu.wordpress.com/2023/07/30/lk-99-superconductor...

HN discussionI believe this blog post has a breakdown of all the updates and the twitter posts with the videos: https://eirifu.wordpress.com/2023/07/30/lk-99-superconductor...

on “Electronic Structure of LK-99”Looks like there's at least three other people in front of Andrew on the "first floaty flake replication" list[0], and something like four more efforts where the flakes didn't float which arguably still counts as replications.

on “Andrew McCalip demonstrates synthesis of LK99”Ok, I guess we'd better switch to that from https://eirifu.wordpress.com/2023/07/30/lk-99-superconductor... (the submitted URL). Thanks!
