If they really believe they have the only sample they won't let it out of their sight most likely.
It'll be superconducting tomorrow if it's really superconducting today.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoIs that necessarily true? I'm 200% not a physicist, but it is possible that during transit, minor bumps / temperature changes / ionizing radiation / oscillating E-M fields could screw up the material in a way that matters?
- psychphysic 3y agoI meant in the abstract sense. They seem to be able to make the stuff with albeit with a very poor yield.

- foven 3y agoNot necessarily true. Complex compounds can be susceptible to oxidisation and generally decay and degrade over time.
- kurthr 3y agoApparently, they've offered samples to "serious experimental groups". "Condensed Matter Theory Center (a Twitter account affiliated with University of Maryland) says they will send samples." - sanxiyn 2 days ago https://twitter.com/condensed_the/status/1684960318718406656 https://twitter.com/condensed_the/status/1684960318718406656
- yreg 3y agoThat would mean it's insanely difficult to reproduce.
- distortionfield 3y agoNot necessarily. Just that the paper is rough and problems in synthesis aren’t well documented or explored.
