      The step that is now nearing completion is synthesizing Lanarkite (I think that’s what it says on the paper) which is Pb2SO3, at 725°C for 24 hours. The overall goal is to replicate a recent paper about a room-temperature standard pressure superconductor. The timer is near 0 now so hopefully we’ll see some action not just a kiln

      It looks like they’re currently baking(?) the material, and will test it afterwards (I’m no expert)
