I did not realize one could learn how much chemistry they did not know from a single name. "+δ" is one I've never seen before.

I noticed that too.The writing style itself seems a bit strange. I'm not deep into superconductors, so I can't judge the science itself but I have doubts about how much trust this article can give.

That was fun but this is gun?

The two teams could "synergize" their tacit knowledge, overcome "involution"?

Without open peer review like in the old days it's hard, even with frontier models, for nonexperts to know if the above breakthrough was (unfairly?) relegated or how significant TFA is truly
