Witnessing discoveries in a newly synthesized quantum material is very exciting as nature reveals new phenomena that need to be understood. The initial observations always require diligent verification and reproducibility following the scientific method. We live in an era in which, more than ever, reliable and trusted research are pivotal to the progress in science.
A recent manuscript on the potential room temperature superconductivity was reported on the arXiv:2307.12037 and it was also published on 30 April 2023.
While the presented results are potentially exciting, the presentation and the analysis of the results should be improved and all measurements need to be verified. Only when the experimental results are verified by many groups around the world we would be ready to embrace the long-sought room temperature superconductivity.
