On: Room temperature, ambient pressure superconductivi...

Those won't happen with the current magnetic field limitations. Ironically, this is the thing that makes me believe them more rather than less: it is plausible that if you find a material that is superconducting at room temperature that it isn't right away going to be ideal in every other respect, and it would have been very easy to fake that one too.

Right. Assuming this paper is true, just knowing that a superconductor with a critical temperature over 100C can exist at all is a huge leap forward.

It should lead to a huge push to understand the physics of this new material and building better materials with more useful properties
