Holy fucking shit
Edit: Article was disappointing, unfortunately. A roundup of preliminary analyses, including a supercomputer simulation, a Russian amateur claiming to have synthesized it, and a Chinese lab confirming the study. Given the fact that others are having difficulty replicating this, and the other drama surrounding the discovery I’m going to need better proof than this before getting really excited.
Yep. This is one of those world changing tech advances.
Replication is a huge step.
But I temper the excitement with the memory that I read my first The Coming Room Temp Superconductor revolution 30 or so years ago. IIRC it was a cover story in Scientific American in the early 90s.
That said, fuck I hope they have cracked a scalable RTS.
The 90s were 30 years ago? Damn.
"The Matrix" was released closer in time to the French Revolution than to today.
Please. Spare me.
