in my humble opinion this is v strong evidence that there is something; itβs not like people come up with high temperature super conductors randomly, hard to fake. finding a superconducting effect at any temp in an insulator is a strong sign, but, making it high quality enough to be room temperature is another great leap. iirc, the original authors made 8000 samples (correct me if iβm wrong @altryne) and achieved success <10% of the time. lots of room to improve quality and yield
as @sdamico points out 110K is on the high end of existing high temperature superconductors. itβs remarkable that they found this, and it makes sense that the critical temperature could be much lower if less pure. early days of reproduction, really! https://t.co/VQd1ijiStQ

@sdamico lots of concern out of people looking at the linear plot. maybe someone can help me, because https://t.co/OXEW2CSvM5
@uberstaking @sdamico i donβt understand, at all, why you would use a linear plot to see this. the 250K transition is a mystery but i makes the actual transition too difficult to see. it goes much lower than the 250K section. the log plot is more useful for everything afaik
