Any floating videos? Otherwise this will resolve to "No" soon

We all float down here.

I thought the question was "Does LK-99 have a density less than 1 gram per cubic centimeter" until I read the description. Float may be a bit of a misnomer for the title but it got me to open the market up.

Over a single, regular, stationary dipole magnet?

Or would this also resolve YES if it could hover over an array of four magnets in a quadrupole arrangement, such as is used to make pyrolytic graphite levitate in a stable way?

The latter is pretty likely, and the former less likely.

@chrisjbillington An array of four magnets would be fine.

By what date?

@jack 2024

Note that even normal magnets can be made to levitate.

Successful growth and room temperature ambient-pressure magnetic levitation of LK-99

Recently, Sukbae Lee et al. reported inspiring experimental findings on the atmospheric superconductivity of a modified lead apatite crystal (LK-99) at room temperature (10.6111/JKCGCT.2023.33.2.061, arXiv: 2307.12008, arXiv: 2307.12037). They claimed that the synthesized LK-99 materials exhibit the Meissner levitation phenomenon of superconductors and have a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) higher than 400 K. Here, for the first time, we successfully verify and synthesize the LK-99 crystals which can be magnetically levitated with larger levitated angle than Sukbae Lee's sample at room temperature. It is expected to realize the true potential of room temperature, non-contact superconducting magnetic levitation in near future.

@FranekZak Yes, that was “contact” levitation. I have edited the question to make this clearer. I will buy to refund your shares if you wish to change your mind

@Soren Not a huge investment, so no-worries.
