Trying very hard to not get excited about the #Superconductor news that's just dropped. We've been burned here before.

Then I'm seeing actual qualified #Physics people get excited about it and I'm like, ok, maybe this one is legit 🤞

Sounds like it's easily replicable, so hopefully, we will have some answers soon. If it's proven to work, this could be huge.

Physics is having quite the year!

@PinkColl the caveat seems to be very low critical field, which would impact practicality.

@PinkColl

If this is true, #Materials scientists are having quite a year as well! And solid state #chemists and the materials and process engineers!

@silverman it's a great year for science. Really hoping this one turns out to be legit.

@PinkColl Did someone announce they made a room temperature superconductor?
Show threadPinkCollJul 26, 2023
@bragi they did. Very exciting if it's true.

@PinkColl how long should it take to replicate?
Show threadPinkCollJul 27, 2023

@evaschue people are already working on it.

It's easy, quick and cheap to make and doesn't require anything hugely specialised to make it so we may have replication over the weekend. Most definitely we will see replication attempts over the next few weeks.

This one should be a quick confirmation or debunking.
