"Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature/pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives."

It's great to hear that, not only does it take common materials, but it also sounds easy to make. I was worried it would be another graphene...made from common charcoal, but super difficult to manufacture at scale.

I'm stoked to get a copy of the paper too! Until now I had been stuck by greedy paywalls on scientific paper publishing places.

LMAO we're not gonna be making power transmission lines out of OUT OF FUCKING LEAD this is the most delusional concept LOL
