Apparently Lockheed Martin patented, and can produce, the perforated graphene for water filtration, and the holes let the magnetic field lines escape without compromising the effective superconductivity of a wire.
...Yes, the word blockchain singularly and immediately increased my skepticism, as if any mention of graphene didn't already. But for what its worth, their website advertises some kind of communication app with quantum resistant encryption, not a cryptocurrency.
ECC is just defense in depth against Kyber having weaknesses because it’s new.
Is it, though? Patents for complete nonsense are granted all the time; it would not surprise me if room-temperature superconductor patents are actually quite common. If that's the case, one granted at about the same time as there's room temperature superconductor news will naturally get extra attention, no coincidence involved.
...which was never peer-reviewed or reproduced. The authors of the patent are also not physicists, chemists, or materials-scientists, with no prior publications related to superconductors. This just came out of thin air.
If anything, this highlights everything that's wrong with the US patent system. (you don't need to have a working prototype to get it patented, and the patent examiner doesn't need to understand anything about the mechanism you're proposing.)
