So this is getting interesting (following on from the failed replication study (posted here).

Quick Notes:

This is a simulation! So it lends credence to the possibilities of this being legit.
But it's from an apparently credible lab
This line struck me as consistent with the difficulties people have been having with replication (from the twitter summary):

This means the material would be difficult to synthesize since only a small fraction of crystal gets its copper in just the right location.
