This is the kind of thing that researchers want you to believe is much more impressive than it actually is so you don't pull their funding and that journalists want you to believe is much more interesting than it is so they get paid for the sixth article they had to write today

Yeah, absolutely, they just have to invent room-temperature superconductors (A century of research and billions of dollars and we're still looking at slightly warmer than liquid nitrogen),

manufacture them at scale (graphene, a substance you can make by putting a piece of sticky tape on some pencil lead and pulling, has needed 2 decades and hundreds of millions of dollars to start to look like maybe we'll possibly be there in another decade or two),

develop a pocket-sized nuclear fusion reactor for power supply (go fuck yourself),

covertly position two agents equal distances apart on exactly opposite sides of the target (lol),

train an A.I. on the target after a few dozen readings compared to a profile of what they're probably thinking about at the time (double lol), and

pray to god they happen to be preoccupied with thoughts of something important while you manage to do that (go fuck yourself, again.)
