Hunting for Room Temperature Superconductors

Abstract: Room temperature superconductivity, as one of the famous jewels on the crown of physics, has attracted continuous attention and unremitting efforts from numerous scientists. In recent years, more and more reports on room temperature superconductivity evoke many anticipations, but results remain controversial. Here, we introduce the characteristics of superconducting phenomena and propose 10 feasible paths to achieve room-temperature superconductivity in the future.
