    If confirmed, it would be much more than an “oh, neat” kind of discovery. Unlike many things which are very much a scientific pursuit – still worth researching, but having few, if any, applications outside of the pursuit of knowledge – a room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor has immense practical benefits. A true room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor would stand to revolutionize many things, and whoever discovers it will almost definitely get a well-deserved Nobel prize for their effort.
