Superconductor Breakthrough Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing

A tentative but less nebulous step toward superconductor-fueled electronics.

Superconductor Breakthrough Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing::It's been a rough few days in the condensed matter physics realm following claims of the world's first room-temperature superconductor being achieved. However, work to verify and replicate the results

wait, really? other people have confirmed this might be real? I'm not sure i'm ready for that.. i don't dare hope, you know?

but also, if another unrelated team has demonstrated room-temp Meissner effect, that means this might be true, right?

A university today has successfully replicated and proven 0 resistance. Still a ways to go before a viable commercially available version is developed.

Below 110K. That's still at least 160K away from room temperature.

Thanks for the link. It's worth noting that they achieved that at temperatures below 110 Kelvin, and the big breakthrough would be doing the same at room temperature and pressure.
