Fig 3, bottom right "Quadratic fitting" ... X-D

Are you expecting critical current vs temperature to not be quadratically related? If so, why?

No, I'm getting a smile out of the optimism. Six data points, each derived quite subjectively itself, that could just as easily fit a line or some other curve.

That said, quadratic is a more conservative interpretation than a linear fit.

The author is considering streaming the electrical measurement experiments in a day, according to the Zhihu answers.

Since this thread is down from the top, I'm also considering posting another one as soon as the stream link comes out. I'm not sure if this violates the "duplicate" rule of HN, but I think broadcasting such a major physics breakthrough is worth a try.
