Some thoughts on the room-temperature near-ambient-pressure superconductor drama in #APSMarch #APSMarch2023: past and present in high-Tc superconductivity discoveries: Woodstock of physics vs the NDA excuse.
Here comes a thread.

We know that in March of 1987, the academic world was abuzz with news of the discovery of cuprate-based high-temperature superconductors. The discovery was so new that no one could catch the APS March meeting deadline that year. However, APS added a last-minute marathon session.
The marathon session to present and discuss the related findings in the NYC March meeting was called “Woodstock of physics” (ref to the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival). This session saw 51 presentations on this groundbreaking discovery from 7:30pm to 3:15am the next day.
