Re: [Vo]:The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor

Maybe, look at how both cases of levitation had one end up and one end down. This suggests one of 2 things, they either made a ferromagnetic material not a superconductor. OR, they made a superconductor that is only superconductive at one end. So a tiny bit of contamination only occurred at that

Jed, I do not object reporting, but these blood suckers like to have detailed reports...This would be OK for 10x more money... Further:: A little bit more advanced experiments need high level equipment. Like a multi target PVD coater, a good galvanostat and access to a decent XRF just to name
