Contrary to the linked tweet, there's some reason to think its diagmagnetism is pretty interesting. It might be the second most diamagnetic non-superconductive material known. Why this may happen may keep condensed matter physicists entertained for a while. Very little chance of direct technologicalapplications for the foreseeable future, though.

- hackerlight 3y agoIf this were true, would CMTC word the tweet like this: > Enquiring minds want to know: Is diamagnetism not interesting? The answer is that NO, diamagnetism is NOT interesting, many materials (e.g. Pb, Cu, P going into LK99) are diamagnetic. It is a run of the mill property. (There are more results, but CMTC cannot divulge them yet.)
- seewhydee 3y agoI would argue that CMTC is acting here more like a twitter drama queen than a proper scientist.
