Superconductors are in the news due to a some publications coming out of South Korea. In this video I give my opinion on that room temperature superconducting material to be made all of a sudden is very hard to believe news, specially given the implications of it.

The papers in question from Quantum Energy Research Centre in Seoul, South Korea appears to be a draft with typos and mistakes in it, further eroding the credibility of the authors bringing forth such a ground breaking claim.

But in this scientist's opinion, the news seems too good to be true....

But hey... you never know....
