A room-temperature superconductor would be the single biggest discovery since the transistor, so take this with a grain of salt until we get some independent reproductions. But, if true, this is world-changing.

    Sounds exciting, but magical. Like that EM drive thing from like a decade ago. So exciting but ultimately nothing. Hopefully this turns out better.

    holy shit,
    and its literally just some lead mineral (lead Apatite)

    Not only would it be a gigantic breakthrough,
    it sounds almost affordable compared to rare earths (afaik Apatite can be lab grown)

    i sure hope it turns out true after peer review
