I think we’re going to see the claims on this material fully validated. I’ve seen enough evidence so far to suggest that the inconsistencies/ failures to replicate are due to the difficulties in production, not the material itself. And sure, those difficulties are well, difficult. But that’s really quite secondary to the discovery so long as it replicates. Those engineering questions will be solved in time.
It seems that room temperature superconduction is, well, a thing.
