Can anyone explain if the specimen was found through rigorous research or just sheer luck? Because it is starting to seem like it's the latter.
A very large quantity of discoveries in science are a combination of "well, that's odd" and the "sheer luck" associated with the circumstances producing that statement. (This isn't a commentary on the truthfulness of the superconductor claims.)

At least in the alchemy camp we have minds like Isaac Newton. On the UFO side it's mostly hucksters and numpties commenting "wake up sheeple, you can see it's CGI" on ISS live stream videos.
Come on. Grusch's mom says he's a nice boy so obviously aliens are real.

> Hyun Tak Kim has about 10k citations (Google scholar, which sometimes combines people who have the same name though) and authored a paper in scientific reports which got L&K interested in collaborating with him. It appears he was a latecomer to the project, mostly borrowing his reputation to the trio of anonymous, non anglosphere native original authors.
Let's be less cynical. Nothing to do with borrowing reputation. The original authors have something. They don't have the expertise in condensed matter physics to really know what. They don't know how to report results and what results would be conclusive. Their work is simply not convincing, and if they were experts they would also not be convinced. That's why they brought in another collaborator who is an expert. Bu…

[Citation needed] - What linked patent? It seems incredibly rude to me to dismiss decades of dedicated research this way. This is a human achievement, it's not right to try to take that away from the people who put so much work into it.

The post just says the video came from BiliBili. Does anyone know the actual source? I want to believe but this video is suspicious.
It's hard to imagine how this could be faked short of digital manipulation, and it seems implausible that it would be a known high TC superconductor because it would warm up too fast. Absent the former explantation, I'm starting to believe this is real. Also, it's not like all the author's are unknown hacks.

Seriously? To me this looks like a chip of graphite glued to an invisible thread. The way the object moves is not what I would expect from magnetism (see second 10 for instance)

I was curious and did a patent search. This may be it: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20190348597A1/en (Piezoelectricity-induced High Temperature Superconductor)
Note to pedants: yes yes, the Venn diagram has an intersection.
What I like most about this development is that, suddenly, folks with "CEO " or "Founder " in their Twitter bio look uncool, while folks with " " in their twitter bio are uber cool. Note to pedants: yes yes, the Venn diagram has an intersection.
