I have just watched a video about this. This is from the same group who claimed similar things in the past and were shown that the data was falsified. They had withdrawn the paper.
So, until this is independently confirmed, I am really skeptical about this.
I saw a tiktok about this that there were two separate papers published within the week as it looks like they were competing to take credit for the achievement, which would be unusual for bunk science.
Not an endorsement by any means, but def paying closer attention than I would have.
The same guy x:d this. Apparently a chinese university has replicated at least the diamagnetism claimed in the paper.

You're thinking about the University of Rochester group, which claimed room temperature high pressure superconductivity, and whose work was indeed riddled with fraud. This is a different group which claims room temperature and pressure superconductivity in a totally different material. They're sketchy in different ways, but have not previously been down to be frauds (to my knowledge). At most, a bit cranky in their understanding of the underlying theory. Which is why several groups are keeping an open mind and trying to replicate this.
Nope, the Korean group
