Bad Science and Room Temperature Superconductors (LK-99) - Sixty Symbols

Professor Philip Moriarty takes issue with a paper by scientists claiming to achieve room temperature superconductivity.
The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor: https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008
Key critique points:
- Team has little to no background in superconductivity
- Evidence of levitation can be explained without superconductivity
- Graph showing drop in resistance uses a scale which is orders of magnitude off the scale
- Graph showing drop in resistance shows it does not drop (close) to zero
Phil regrets this bad publication which received so much attention could have a negative impact on credibility of science as a whole.
