The Room Temperature Superconductor

A team in South Korea has published a paper claiming to have found a material that can be superconducting at room temperature. Electrons can flow through the material with no resistance, perfect electricity transfer across distance and also enables the Meisner effect where magnetic waves can reflect off of the material. This is their theoretical explanation on what's going on. It will be replicated. People will try and do what they are now claiming. They did to demonstrate this. There was some condensed matter physics people that sent me an email and said they don't think that this is real. I mean, like leave the unions for the people who are actually on the front lines.
