To qualify, superconductivity should be observed at 194.7 K or higher by multiple studies from independent researchers.
If the requirement is not satisfied before 2025-05-05, this resolves to NO.

@mods Resolves NO. The copper-substituted lead apatite is not a superconductor at any temperature, see e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-98554-3 (creator has not resolved this market for 4 months and has been inactive for three weeks)
