    Uhhhh isn’t this pretty massive news? Or am I missing something?

      The thing is, it’s “only” a simulation, and with DFT stuff (the approach used in the simulation) there is usually quite a bit of wiggle room to get some interesting results. It’s still kind of a big deal, it says something like “hey these people’s results might not be complete nonsense”, but I’m still waiting for someone reproducing something experimentally.

        Thank you very much for explaining that. This has really been pretty far over my head but it’s so exciting.
