But what if science could somehow find a material that performed this atomic superconducting dance at room temperature? “Any metal in principle can be a superconductor … [but] people are ...

For decades scientists have been in search of a superconducting material—a material that doesn’t experience electrical resistance–that can operate at room temperature and ambient air pressure.

Room temperature superconductors don't violate any known physics theories, but neither do any theories predict them. The difficulty of creating them boils down to an engineering puzzle ...
