Metamaterials offer route to room-temperature superconductivity

Metamaterials offer route to room-temperature superconductivity

A new way of making high-temperature superconductors that is based on metamaterials has been proposed by physicists in the US. Their plan involves combining a low-temperature superconductor with a dielectric material to create a metamaterial that is a superconductor at much higher temperatures than its constituent materials. The team is now looking at testing its proposal in the lab and is hopeful that its work could offer a route to creating a superconductor that operates at room temperature.

Metamaterial superconductors at liquid nitrogen temperatures?
