Ugh. Unless this has been actually experimentally verified to be a room-temperature and room-pressure superconductor, it's about as ground breaking as "Yet another promising nuclear fusion candidate theoretically described."

Well, given that this is a semiconductor, and not a superconductor, I don't see how that is relevant?

I agree that it is about as ground breaking as "Yet another promising nuclear fusion candidate theoretically described."

I'm not sure why you would consider new and promising avenues for research to not be ground breaking. If it's an idea worth trying, it's an idea worth trying. If it doesn't survive testing, then it was still worth trying.
