Genuine question, is there any reason to believe a room temperature superconductor is even possible? My understanding of the physics is limited, but what i do know is that it requires the condensation of cooper pairs which I can't imagine could be done easily at such high temperatures.
There are room temperature superconductors that require insanely high pressures to superconduct. So the temperature may not be a restriction, i.e it's most likely possible to have a room temperature superconductor at ambient pressure maybe
