I severly doubt that it is an actual room temperature superconductor, but would love to hear the opinions of more well informed people on that topic.
If this were true, I would’ve expected to see it on the front page of the New York Times, not hiding in a scientific journal. Color me skeptical, with a hint of optimism.

Actually the opposite is the strange. I would be skeptical of any group the report something in media before publishing the results in a journal (or arxiv like this case).
This is not to say anything about this particular paper. I still have to read it eventually.

I share your doubt, but on the other hand I wonder why? Could you tell how a breaking message of this magnitude should be decorated to make all doubts go away?
But there will likely be very many bogus preprints for each true extraordinary finding.
Therefore most things showing up like this are untrue.
big if true. far from a chemistry expert here, but synthesis looks basically trivial (if you consider 10e-5 torr vacuum to be trivial), and the materials are readily available. hell, from the instructions alone i could probably make it at home. i mean the search space is unfathomably large, so i suppose it’s possible that something like this exists, but the paper quality itself doesn’t.. spark joy? :) i’ll maintain a…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
127°C, so it is room temperature if you first set your room alight.
From my understanding it is superconductive up to that temp. So, superconductive at room temp and even further.
Will they invite a wide range of experts to publicly test their material?
