Genuinely curious: in what ways is that not a good term? Is it because its not a new thing, just marketing? Or is it conflating with some other physics things?

- radioactivist 2y agoThe ideas that underpin their device have been around for some time and aren't called by that name in the literature -- it appears to be entirely a branding exercise. A clear signal to me they don't seriously think it is a good name is that don't use the name outside this article (it appears nowhere in their Nature paper or anywhere else for that matter).
- pinoy420 2y agoSo what is it called then
- radioactivist 2y agoIt's a topological superconductor.
- fshr 2y agoBut that's not a good branding name. Would you argue that a mini fridge should only be marketed as a miniature refrigerator? It's a mouthful. Why does the name that's used for branding need to show up in Nature?
