OK, What Is Room-Temperature Superconducting and Will It Change Everything?
It's been 100 years since a Dutch physicist discovered superconductivity, and recent discoveries show we're closer than ever to developing potentially world-changing technology.
Scientists Have Created the First Room-Temperature Superconductor
A compound made of carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur was able to carry electrical charges with zero resistance at a temperature of 15°C, smashing previous temperature restraints.

Why You Might Want To Get a Piece of Metal Wasted
Superconductivity is a property that a metal can acquire where it loses all of its electric resistance and becomes nearly 100-percent efficient. It's useful is making awesome magnets, in MRI machines and microscopes, and, in the future, it'll maybe be...
