Here's the LK-99 tie in: the most precise gravity meters in the world are superconducting meters, which require a lot of power (2 kW contonuous) to maintain a helium dewar at 4K. It's tough to make that a field instrument. A compact, stable, room temperature gravity sensor would be a huge advance for hydrogeophysics.
