I don't think we'll really see a superconductor that ticks all the boxes.
Reality is too noisy for such effects to take hold. If there was I think evolution would have already used it by now.
- philipkglass 2y agoDo you mean biological evolution? There are a vast number of useful materials that terrestrial organisms cannot evolve because they're incompatible with the chemical/physical conditions inside living things. Organisms never evolved the use of aluminum structures, for example, even though aluminum has many useful properties and is more terrestrially abundant than carbon.
