Not exactly what we were sold.....
For the hype to be real needs to be super conducting at room temp and also be somewhat ductile so that we can make wires out of it.

It’s a world record for a zero resistance measurement at ambient pressure.
The material remains heterogeneous and the new superconductor hypothesis is not understood. Lots of weird and unexplained but positive observations, such as magnetic field sensitive resistance.
There’s a big fairway to play.
The flat Fermi energy bands are now the leading hypothesis and institutions are discussing how to optimise and control doping.
