Are there any real experts here on this subject that can express their opinion here of what they think are the realistic chances of this interesting theoretical alternative way to achieve room-temperature superconductivity actually working?

The Problem will be to obtain defect-free monolayers in sufficient area and Price...

As I understood, the work is purely theoretical up to now. We can discuss the practical implications after we saw the first test (I expect Areas less than 1 mm² for the first samples)

That above statement kind of confused me; Unless what you are suggesting involves some confusing time travel, I think that above word "saw" should have been "see" ? 🙂

I pologize.

Instead of

it should have read:

We will be able to discuss the practical implications after we will have seen the first test.

LOL. I am afraid I am still only just nitpicking here but I think that "we will have seen" really should be just "we have seen"; There is definitely a superfluous "will" there 🙂
My editing is also far from perfect and I make mistakes all the time; which is kind of ironic when you consider the fact I have only just finally finished writing my book! I have, of course, made sure it is completely free of edit mistakes. I will start a new thread about it and it's subject matter as soon as I get it published via self-publishing on Amazon (To start a new thread about it before publication would be premature and inappropriate so I just have to wait just a bit longer)
