So far, tests results with a “high” reliability are negative, ie cannot reproduce results. Looks like the claim is either false, or the conditions to get the superconducting material to work aren’t so easy to get.
Let’s not rush, give people a few weeks to finish tests, review the original paper, then let’s see what experts in the field think.
Edit: link
There’s more preliminary results from other teams, including a simulation and an actual experiment.
Maybe there’s some hope after all. Let’s put the champagne in the fridge (not the freezer) in case it’s real. It may take a while for the original+replication studies to be peer reviewed and published.
