The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor

This is a phenomenal find in any case.

As for how to avoid lead poisoning, coat the lead with a thin layer of some substance, perhaps a plastic or rubber that doesn’t affect its magnetic capabilities.

Or perhaps they can galvanize it with safer metal, leaving a really small part exposed.

I think people are talking about RoHS rather than practical danger. Since RoHS is incredibly strict about quantities, e.g. if you can mechanically seperate a piece of the widget, that's what gets measured.

It'd likely be exempt though.
