Room temperature superconductivity

[Inertia]

The discovery has not been verified at the time I am writing this OP, but a preprint about a room temperature superconductor has been filed for peer review. If someone else can repeat the experiment it will be a big deal.

Hopefully it won't turn out like cold fusion did, and will at least move us closer to the goal.

Hi Yttrium. I had the exact same thought. Unlike cold fusion, these experimenters were paying attention as shown ----> here.

- Magnetic field lines were canceled within the bulk of the crystal demonstrating the Meissner effect.
- Levitation confirmed
- BCS theory intact

Skeptics put their two-cents in:

- the sample could be levitated simply due to its diamagnetic characteristics
- there are some inconsistencies in two papers written by the authors concerning magnetic susceptibility
- the experiment did not utilize specialized equipment making an exact reproduction of their technique difficult
