Forgive my ignorance but how does liquid Nitrogen (which has a boiling temperature of ~190Celsius) translate to the -23C you mention ?

- Yizahi 3y agoI was mentioning two possible inventions, separately: 1. Superconductors that retain their properties above -190C but not much higher. It is more probable scenario and would be a huge win on its own. 2. Superconductors at -23C. This ones obviously doesn't need liquid gasses to operate, and so would be even more revolutionary (more compact, cheaper and efficient). But it is unlikely (to me) that we can see such a techlogical leap in one go, without first finding something that works between -23 and -190.
