Oh man, I hope this one is real. These are the real fun ones. I didn't let myself get my hopes up with the superconductor, for obvious reasons, but this ones harder. MIT generally doesn't fuck around.

A little weird why this only got published in PNAS and not something like Science, but hopefully the results is legit. What happened with that superconductor, btw? Did not replicate?

In pure form it turned out to be an insulator

Nope. LK 99 (if I remember right...) has some interesting properties, but is not a room temp superconductor.

Oh well, maybe LK 100 will show more promise
