After discovering a material that offers super conductivity (LK-99), they now invented a material that can be broken down at the molecular level.

Amazing what they discover in their laboratories.

We don't even need labs to discover.

Don't get too excited. Most news of Chinese technological advancements are very very much exaggerated. For example: Deepseek, and thank you for providing another example: LK-99.

So it's a UV-setting material that melts/denatures back to liquid resin when taken above a certain temperature?

That's got to have nteresting applications beyond 3-D printing! For board assembly jobs alone, it would be nice to have a solid environment seal and/or application fixture that just drains away when no longer needed.
