Many people are familiar with the idea that superconductivity typically requires temperatures of minus 100 to 200 degrees Celsius, making commercial applications rare. For over a century, superconductivity has largely been confined to laboratories. Now, achieving superconductivity at 15°C seems like a monumental breakthrough. Some may even wonder: Is superconductivity about to enter everyday life? Has the lead author of the paper started a company? Is it publicly listed? What will the first-generation products look like? Today, let’s discuss room-temperature superconductivity.
