The recent spate of discoveries has both compounded the mystery of superconductivity and heightened the optimism. "It seems to be, in materials, that superconductivity is everywhere," said Matthew Yankowitz.
In 2024, superconductivity—the flow of electric current with zero resistance—was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon.
Ashvin Vishwanath emphasized the unusual nature of the latest discovery, stating, "It's an extremely unusual form of superconductivity that a lot of people would have said is not possible."
