I'm sure I'm getting way ahead of the practical side here, but am I understanding it right that this works at room/atmospheric temperatures?
Does this move the needle closer to being able to make the Meissner effect applicable in practical engineering?

It's interesting because it's very high temperature given certain properties of the material; if that is confirmed, it may allow greater understanding of superconductivity, which may allow other materials to work at higher temperatures.

- IntronExon 9y agoIf that’s what floats your boat (sorry) then you might want to look into topological superconductors, which I think might be the way to go. The whole field of topological materials is new enough to hide something surprising and promising.
