My cousin told me about it. This is pretty exciting. Like the B 60 ball, this is gonna be interesting if they can isolate it in appreciable amounts.

This is indeed exciting and adds to my current distrust of charge explanations. I appreciate electron transfer in a P-N junction, and the idea of 'holes' in electron shells around nuclei being available, but I do not like expressions such as

However, when the mass of a hole exceeds a certain critical value - 80 times the mass of an electron - the hole liquid undergoes a spontaneous change to become a crystal.

We are being asked to accept that the hole has mass, although not told what it is made of. I have to believe we are beginning to probe the second generation of lepton interaction and before too long hope we can explain electricity more fundamentally.
Perhaps the electron has had a negative influence on our thinking.

well said couldnt have said it better
