    Assuming for a moment it is real and works and this class of material is useful for transmitting current with 0 resistance or making magnets, many attributes of other ceramic superconductors also shouldn’t apply given the theory that predicted it says it’s not one of those either.

    This also leads to a very very stupid reactionary semantic argument you’ll start seeing more and more over the coming weeks.

      I’m honestly more worried about science communicators projecting life-changing properties onto it because “superconductor”, and then the public coming away with “these scientists are all hyperbolic hacks”.
