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

- gus_massa 6y agoBut 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. )
