My point was that if they would be trying to forge the results, they would likely write a better paper. Like, I have never seen nor would I use a phrase like:
Humankind has long learned that the properties of matter stem from its structure.
or
It is the superconductor with the same color as typical superconductors.
in the results section. It just reads like a student report.
So while it does not prove whether it is correct or not, it, at least in my understanding, indicates that it is genuine. The explanation might be off, the important step of the synthesis might include adding a teaspoon of luck, but the observations/measurements part I believe. Which is what I meant by the comment.
Very interesting that they say it is peaking at 520nm, which is some shade of green.
Wonder if this might have played a role in plants being green. It is also surprisingly close to peak of sun spectrum. Maybe those two factors, combined with the existence of liquid water are favourable conditions for plants to develop the way they did.
