It's an 'upvote to discover whether it's true.' Like a significant fraction of HN stories.
Upvoting also saves the story to your profile, so some may do so to also bookmark it....
Title should say "University of Wyoming", not "UW".
"UW" means "University of Washington".
"UW" means "University of Washington".
Their website also says UW. That surprised me as well. I didn't know another UW existed at all.
University of Wyoming is known as "UW" as well.
University of (Washington, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Waterloo)
Or University of Waterloo
Who cares? Why does this matter at all? Are you seriously that confused over the abbreviation?
When referring to Washington, it's pronounced "Yoo-dub".
When referring to Wyoming, it's pronounced "Uhhwh"

This is a university press office press release, just a depressing example of the science news cycle

and not enough yet to comment on here. There has been no uptake of this yet by professional news organizations, and no link to a published article appears in the press release.

Agreed. I love those fluff words like "breakthrough". It sounds like "Blitzkrieg" to me. It is amazing how much clueless re-reporters can dilute the information density and usefulness of the initial abstract.
> How far [will] the charge migrate across the interfaces between oxide superconductors and ferromagnetic materials? They revealed that the charge transfer is restricted within one nanometer from the interfaces.
The UW copywriter is overly generous with the headline.
"Breakthrough" joins other now-meaningless words such as "paradigm", "terrorist", and "awesome".

As someone that grew up in Wyoming, I'm surprised they even know how to spell "superconductivity".
...or is this just an 'up vote because I want it to be true rather than that the article contains any meaningful information' things?
