Don't mean to be a negative Nancy, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Is whatever he was holding in the video a good enough "it"? Or, like, a consumer product going all the way to market?

Remember last year when whoever came out and said they'd made a room temperature superconductor (LK99) and than other scientists tried to recreate it and it turned out to be false?

I'll believe it when it's verified by a lot of other people and not the inventor.

I agree that it should be verified, but given that it was published on Nature gives hope that it will be reproducible.

Also given that it's from GA Tech, I'd expect it to be credible.
