SUMMARY

M state metals, also known as mon-atomic metals, are purported to be high spin superconductors that allegedly lose weight when heated, resulting in negative readings on scales. However, extensive searches reveal that these concepts are largely associated with new-age and pseudoscience sources, lacking credible scientific validation. The discussion concludes that M state metals and high spin superconductors are either obscure concepts or outright quackery, emphasizing the necessity for credible citations when discussing such claims.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superconductivity principles
  • Familiarity with the scientific method and citation practices
  • Knowledge of material science terminology
  • Ability to differentiate between credible science and pseudoscience
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of superconductivity and its applications
  • Investigate the scientific validity of claims regarding mon-atomic metals
  • Explore the history and controversies surrounding high spin superconductors
  • Learn about the criteria for evaluating scientific claims and sources
USEFUL FOR

Scientists, material researchers, and anyone interested in distinguishing between legitimate scientific concepts and pseudoscientific claims regarding advanced materials.

Could someone please explain to me the idea of M state metals, or Mon-atomic metals, I've heard that they were High Spin superconductors and that when heated they loose weight, so much so that the scale they are placed on reads negative.

So, my questions are: How is this possible, and Why on Earth have I not heard of this until now?

Welcome to PF.
I've never heard of either "m-state metals" or "high spin superconductors". Searching for both of these terms turns up a bunch of new-age/pseudoscience sites. As does most hits for "mon-atomic metals".

So the short answer is: These things are not real.

Heard where? You need to provide a citation to your source if you want to get a meaningful response.

What you are looking for may be anything from a real, but extremely obscure concept (low likelihood), to a Podkletnov lookalike, to complete and outright quackery (more likely).
