Recently, researchers from India and China have published two separate studies on ArXiv that attempted to replicate an experiment conducted by a team of scientists from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The original experiment, known as the “LK-99” experiment, claimed to show evidence of negative mass particles existing in a superconductor. However, the two new studies, which were conducted independently, failed to replicate the original results. This means that either the original experiment was flawed, or the particles do not actually exist.
