Don't mean to be a negative Nancy, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Is whatever he was holding in the video a good enough "it"? Or, like, a consumer product going all the way to market?

Remember last year when whoever came out and said they'd made a room temperature superconductor (LK99) and than other scientists tried to recreate it and it turned out to be false?

I'll believe it when it's verified by a lot of other people and not the inventor.

I agree that it should be verified, but given that it was published on Nature gives hope that it will be reproducible.

Nature retracts controversial superconductivity paper by embattled physicist

(not LK99, but they’re not infallible).

Let’s wait until we see peer confirmation.

Also given that it's from GA Tech, I'd expect it to be credible.

Not quite I guess, that wafer is what's needed for chip making but from reading the paper it looks like they were just trying to figure out how to make the band gap of the graphene just the right size. It says their next step is trying to adapt silicon chip making techniques to this new material. Terracing I guess to start?

I second this! Gimme the end product!

Likely not scalable on an industrial level, as always.
