Slightly confused here.... aren’t insulators used to separate conductors? What good is a material that conducts, as an insulator?

The Motherboard link has the crux:
“What’s weird about Jehn-Teller metals is that so far we really have no idea what causes the electrons within them to pair up. In a conventional superconductor, they do it because they’re swapping phonons, which are excitations (”quasiparticles”) found within the molecular lattice of some material, and the effect is attraction. Again, this takes extremely cold temperatures.
If Jehn-Teller metals involve some other electron pairing mechanism, that might mean the possibility of superconductivity occurring at not-so-cold temperatures. Researchers just have to figure out what that other mechanism is...”

So: it possibly exhibits a new mechanism for superconductivity.

Buckyballs! Of course! And here I was trying to get the same result with traditional Jarts.

Thanks....sent to MGD. He’s the “metals man” - I’m just a computer geek.
