Given the enormous amount of hype about LK-99 in so many online spaces including Manifold, I have been very surprised to see the lack of coverage in most mainstream media.

As far as I can tell, at time of writing there has been no coverage at all of LK-99 in the Guardian, the Economist or the BBC.

Will the Economist publish an article about LK-99 or the purported discovery of a room-temperature superconductor in the next week?

Other markets on the subject:

/SimonGrayson/will-the-guardian-publish-an-articl

/SimonGrayson/will-the-economist-publish-an-artic

Resolution criterea:

• I will count any article which has been published on https://www.economist.com/ by 22:00 BST on Tuesday 8th August. It doesn't matter whether the article is in behind the paywall or not - I have a subscription so I can read anything they publish behind the paywall.

• I would expect to see the article in their science and technology section, but it still counts if it is published as a standalone article which appears anywhere else on the site.

• The primary subject of the article must be the potential discovery of a room-temperature superconductor, the specific research and discussion around LK-99 or the reaction to it. An article debunking or dismissing the research or an article about how the whole thing has been a hoax would count, but an article which is primarily about something else but which has a passing mention of LK-99 or superconductors in general would not.

• Hopefully there won't be any ambiguity (either they publish an article which is primarily about this subject or they don't), but just in case there is some level of subjectivity, I will not trade on this market.
