Last week we got cold superconduction. What would the trifecta be? EM drive working probably. Maybe the universe is trying to balance out the cosmic 2020 scale

  Cold superconduction is pretty familiar.

    Ugh, that should have read warm. Warm superconductors, cold fusion, next up would be EM drive.

      But in high temperature superconductivity there has been an steady progress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature_superconductivity#/media/File:Timeline_of_Superconductivity_from_1900_to_2015.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature_superconducti... The trick is that since a few years the different groups are using an extremely high pressure. So a combination of a material and pressure that shows superconductivity at room temperature is new, but not unexpected. (A material that is a superconductor at room temperature and atmospheric pressure would be a more interesting and surprising. I'd wait until it is reproduced before throwing a party. )
