The material is doped by varying the overall oxidation state of the copper, which is balanced by the number of oxygen ions.

I noticed that too.The writing style itself seems a bit strange. I'm not deep into superconductors, so I can't judge the science itself but I have doubts about how much trust this article can give.

In that case you can ignore the article, if it is really significant for layman you will see more articles in the coming weeks/months with simpler explanations
