“Any metal in principle can be a superconductor … [but] people are interested in finding new materials where the transition temperature, where the material goes superconducting, is higher and higher,” Richard Greene, a condensed matter physicist and founding director of the Center for Superconductivity Research at the University of Maryland, tells Popular Mechanics. “There’s always been the hope of making a room-temperature superconductor, it’s sort of a holy grail.”
