#2I 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.

#3Huge if true.

#4If 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.

127°C, so it is room temperature if you first set your room alight.

#6big 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 healthy level of skepticism until some real materials scientists opine and/or someone else is able to reproduce.

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?

From my understanding it is superconductive up to that temp. So, superconductive at room temp and even further.

Mainstream press doesn't have the ability to replicate physics research results you may indeed first get the results in a journal. It can take some time before the research community manages to decide if something replicates or not.
But there doesn't seem to be any indication in the link that this has been published in a peer reviewed journal, or received kinds of community peer review, either.

Yeah, thats about what I expected.
This seems way too good to be true. But hope that it actuaoly is true.
