Testing Miassite

To establish miassite's unconventional superconductivity, researchers conducted three different tests:

1. The London penetration depth test, which measures the reaction of the material to a weak magnetic field. This test revealed that miassite exhibits a unique magnetic response that is not typical of conventional superconductors.
2. Creating defects in the material, which can affect the temperature at which it becomes a superconductor. This test showed that miassite's superconducting properties are robust and can withstand defects.
3. Studying the nature and quantity of energy gaps in the material, which enables superconductivity. This test revealed that miassite has a unique energy gap structure that is not consistent with BCS theory.
