Related thread: a previous paper by the authors was (barely) discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39753397.

One line explainer for non-experts like me: the paper presents a material with strange electric behavior at around 260K (approx. -10 celcius or 10 fahrenheit) that seems to be superconductivity, i.e. near-room-temperature superconductivity.

Hello, when perusing through the posts last year about LK99 event, I notice the thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38691268) used a title other than original one.

Now that I am really new to HN mechanics, I am wondering how to decide which examples to follow. For example, despite the guideline statements, many threads around blog posts on HN actually use new titles.

No floating rock picture, so this is probably much ado about nothing.

The materials are cheap and readily available. This could be reproduced by random YouTube chemists, so expect confirmation or not within weeks.

Some titles are either too long to use or are clickbait/inaccurate and need to be reworded
