Will room-temperature superconductivity be reported by a major peer-reviewed journal before January 2025?

A major peer-reviewed journal will report room-temperature superconductivity before December 31, 2024. The research must meet specific criteria: the material's critical temperature should be greater than room temperature and exhibit low electrical resistivity or the Meissner effect. Eligible journals are those in the top quartile of SJR's condensed matter physics journals or above a 1.0 SJR ranking. In contrast, this market focuses on discovering a room-temperature superconductor with a similar composition to LK-99 by 2025 and meets specific conditions regarding pressure, classification, and synthesis process. The resolution criteria in these markets differ, with one focusing solely on publication and the other on material discovery within a specified timeframe.
