The only proof of superconductivity is from simulations done by Berkely National Labs, but only when the copper atom is in a higher energy than normal position in the crystal lattice, making changes of it doing so in the current production technique small. For this reason I'm still holding out hope that it's just the synthesis process that needs refining, or if it really isn't a room temp superconductor, will at least lead to a proper room temp superconductor in the near future
