    Sure. In a few weeks there will be another article about a new battery that “scientist found” with 100 times the capacity of modern Li-Ion batteries 🤣

      I just read the (pre-published) paper. It looks like exactly what they are claiming. It’s a small effect, but it’s definitely superconductivity, proven in multiple ways. It’s also maintained (very weakly) all the way up to 398K, which is insane.

      Your not going to be building a room temperature MRI machine with it, but it’s there. Critically, now we have an example of a functional RTP superconductor, scientists can iterate around it to improve. That’s how most type-II superconductors were discovered/developed.
