Let's hope so. The easiest way to convince the world that you have a room temperature superconductor is to make up a big batch of samples and offer to distribute them to national labs for testing. First test, does it levitate a small permanent magnet, demonstrating diamagnetism?

They have photographs of that on page 7 of the sister paper: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2307/2307.12037.pdf

Would love 3rd party confirmation as well, of course.

Edit: Here's a video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtVjGWpbE7k

Thanks, I was looking for that video that was referenced in https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2307/2307.12037.pdf

It's unlisted as well but published back in January of 2023. I wonder what they are going to think with the influx of views on it, (43 views as of this post)

Is it just me or is it odd not seeing the normal condensation of the surrounding air due to a chilled superconductor like you get with a YBCO.

Partially levitating on the magnet seems kinda convincing. None of those materials would do that on their own.

They wrote the recipe. It looks like it's easier (for people that has a similar lab) to make your own instead of filling all the import reports to get one.

Some superconductors get destroyed by humidity, so it may be difficult to ship them.

If nobody can reproduce them, then they can send samples or travel the word making samples on site, or receive researches to train them.

The good part of publishing the recipe, is that other people can make small variations. If this is true, there is just now a big race to get a higher record temperature.
