There is no point in discussing it in such terms.&lt;p&gt;The interesting thing is that this behavior was predicted by models, and the experiment confirms the model. That is it. Perhaps with increased confidence in the models it will lead to improvements in practical superconductors in time, but not now.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Evidence for superconductivity above 260 K at megabar pressures (2018)</title><url>https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.07695</url></story>

Obviously using this material under those conditions in the real world won&amp;#x27;t be realistic.&lt;p&gt;However, what this shows is that superconductivity is possible at those temperatures, and that pressure is a factor to further investigate when experimenting with other candidate materials.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Evidence for superconductivity above 260 K at megabar pressures (2018)</title><url>https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.07695</url></story>
