"Ranga Dias' team says it created a material — called "reddmatter" because it turns red under pressure and in homage to the 2009 film Star Trek — that can act as a superconductor at up to 69 degrees Fahrenheit and 145,000 pounds per square inch (psi). That's about 10,000 times more pressure that the 15 psi at sea level, but engineers already make commercially accessible products, like microchips and synthetic diamonds, using more than 145,000 psi."
Right...just like the curly lightbulb...
So, a conductor with essentially zero resistance will “revolutionize energy”?
How is that? Will it multiply the output of solar panels by 1000? No. Will it make batteries last 100 years, store and release power with 100% efficiency even in cold temps? No. Will it make EVs run 500 miles on a 5 minute charge? No. Will it supply power when the grid is down? No.
Then what the hell good is it?

Where is the:
“All the big problems have been solved. Now it’s just a matter of getting it into production.”
That is the difference between science and engineering. Scientists only have to do it once. Engineers have to make it work.

Just 30 years away, like fusion, and the last superconductor promise.
