The original report is billed as a "room temperature superconductor" (iirc up to 28c). If it is indeed a superconductor at room temperature, it would be the first of it's kind and enable functional usages for superconductors previously impossible.
The original claim was Tc of 127c - above the boiling point of water.
Plenty of reason to doubt it though. Of course I'm hoping it's real.
Wow, that's crazy! I guess I missed the 1 in front. I'd say the more I read the more optimistic I become. Fingers crossed!!
