Currently superconductors require extremely cold temperatures (not just freezing, but extreme subzero freezing temps) - this makes their use cases extremely limited as it is expensive to keep them cold enough.

The discovery of a room-temperature superconductor, would revolutionize energy transmission, transportation, electronics, medical imaging, and scientific research. It could lead to highly efficient power grids, faster trains, improved medical diagnostics, advanced electronics, and more energy-efficient technologies across industries, with potential benefits for renewable energy, space exploration, and fundamental physics understanding.
