descriptive claim
Higher-temperature cuprate superconductors, including examples above 77 K such as those around 93 K, do not follow the conventional superconductivity account, or their governing physics is not yet known.

In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“hope effect. Like if you take the same system but just different weight for one of the elements, you can see the superconducting temperature drops at the rate you expect. So that one is conventional. But then higher temperature superconductors like cuprates, like the ones that are above seventy seven Kelvin like ninety three Kelvin turns out don't obey that physics. Or we don't know what physics they obey.”Play from 15:39Report a misattribution
