Superconductor news: What’s claimed, and how strong the evidence seems to be

I was trying to explain this to someone a couple of days ago. This article definitely helps! I'm pretty excited to see if this is successfully verified or not and it seems we won't have to wait long! This, plus the confirmation of energy positive cold fusion within the last couple of years could really be the defining moments between our current level of advancement and a big step forward.

They propose that electron tunneling between these quantum wells, which are between 3.7 and 6.5 Ångstroms apart, is the superconducting mechanism.

Uh oh. We're goin tunneling boys and girls. This is how we end the universe as we know it.

Cool news, I hope it's able to be reproduced!

I appreciate this approach to science writing. Gives context and conveys excitement about the science being done, without resorting to hyperbole about how this is guaranteed to change the world as we know it. And very well distilled for someone like me with no background in materials science!
