This stuff is the materials science equivalent of making a baking soda volcano, in terms of difficulty. If their results are BS we will know quite quickly. I have no doubt people are attempting to reproduce their results right now. If they wanted to get the credit for a BS discovery they definitely could have picked something harder to reproduce. They're making a very easily verifiable or falsifiable claim.
