The race to replicate LK-99, a superconductor capable of transmitting energy without resistance at room temperature, has kicked off in the DIY science community. On July 22, a team of Korean scientists from the Quantum Energy Research Institute shared preliminary papers introducing this substance. In October 2021, he established DesciWorld, a platform designed to facilitate decentralized research and enable peer-to-peer funding for any anonymous research. Like decentralized finance, an alternative to the current financial system, decentralized science (DeSci) offers a more open, community-driven way to conduct experiments and research around the world. "Decentralized science is fundamentally an egalitarian movement.
