Interesting article. But I have a small complaint. The first sentence of the article says the material will conduct electricity “perfectly”. Wow! Then later it says the resistivity was “nearly zero”, which of course is not perfect.
That’s not the fault of the scientist. It’s the fault of a lazy editor.

A team of researchers claims to have created the first materials that conduct electricity perfectly at room temperature and ambient pressure, but many physicists are highly sceptical. Speaking to New Scientist, Hyun-Tak Kim at the College of William & Mary in Virginia says he will support anyone trying to replicate his team’s work.This is how science is supposed to work. If they're willing to share their process and results, and other scientists can replicate it, it moves closer to being accepted as a solution. The notion that the original scientist is willing to support other teams reproducing his results indicates that the original team believes in their work.

Now, if we can just get that ‘Room Temperature Fusion’ thingy going..................

“The notion that the original scientist is willing to support other teams reproducing his results indicates that the original team believes in their work.”
Yes, much more encouraging that some others who have, say, claimed “cold fusion” but then refused to disclose their process because that may have interfered with them bilking investors.

RB, interesting!
"mixed several powdered compounds containing lead, oxygen, sulphur and phosphorus"
But we do not know what those compounds were? Lead is diamagnetic, so magnatism associated with small internal currents within the resulting non magnetic substance cause levitation? Or does the unamed compound contain something that normally reacts magnetically?
Uses? ..Superconducting motor brushes if you can keep your motor at room temp? For EV cars in cold places, although the Batteries in cold places are the real problem. Cathode/anode battery material?? Propulsion engine or exterior coating for your personal magnetically propelled craft? (Do not lick the coating!)
(So...having some fun with this, the Secret Sauce compounds.....Powdered crushed refrigerator magnets!)

Science deniers.

“Kim and his colleagues mixed several powdered compounds containing lead, oxygen, sulphur and phosphorus, then heated them at a high temperature for several hours.”
Hard at wok mixing those compounds…

You are perfectly pedantic. Well, maybe nearly perfect.

Hmm. I was just trying to conduct myself properly.
But it seems like you have some resistance to my post.

That cold fusion “breakthrough” was about 30 years ago now?

Lol. Seriously, I just laughed at your reply. Thanks for that chuckle.
