Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure superconductors are POSSIBLE and there may be a number of them: https://youtu.be/Hm-v4Eby0hk?si=Z5trGcmkaydef6Cj
The Age of Aquarius may be possible starting with a Transductor.
Censorship impeded much relevant information posted online so this promising area of breakthrough for humans (with minimal electrical energy spent on maintaining a strong electromagnetic field to confine plasma, nuclear fusion's net energy yield may become positive and unleash nearly infinite amount of energy from sea water's heavy hydrogen, deuterium) should be shut down ?
Oh, maybe Intel corp. will make the breakthrough, right ? Or maybe IBM which had made the copper integration into semiconductor-chip manufacturing breakthrough before and then lost its lead to Taiwan ?
Silver selenide also has a narrow bandgap of 0.15eV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver(I)_selenide (and multiple phases with a transition temperature at 130C) while a graphene-like structure in the form of various diameter carbon nanotubes has two allotrope with different conductivity properties: one insulating and the other being a semimetal with osculating conduction and valence bands at a cusp structure. These are all narrow-gap semiconductor/semimetal candidates.
Bandgap and the relations to the Fermi energy can be manipulated by quite a few different methods: laser light, magnetic fields, pressure, temperature, electric voltages, doping, etc.
Tin is a topological insulator with the gray-tin and white-tin transition at 13.2C (room temperature) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_insulator
The white-tin surface layer was reportedly superconducting.
This single chemical element in PURE form has a narrow bandgap for its gray-tin phase of 0.08eV which is close to the thermal energy available near room temperature of 0.026eV. The inversion of the bands can thus occur in the energy levels near high density of states allowing the white-tin to have a high number of electrons to conduct electricity.
For the random thermal motions of molecules and atoms to link up the top of the valence band to the bottom of the conduction band nearing inversion, the band edges should be within a few kT of each other's high-density-of-state filaments. k is Boltzmann's Constant and T is absolute temperature in Kelvins.
Last year saw the discovery of forms of superconductivity: https://www.wired.com/story/new-superconductive-materials-have-just-been-discovered/
The key to achieve room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductivity is the inversion of the conduction and valence band structure. When the two bands' edges are at nearly the same energy level, They can merge their high density of states near the lower edge of the conduction band with the same near the upper edge of the valence band to FORM very nearly flat filaments in the dispersion diagram plotting electrons' energy v. momentum.
These near-flat filaments allow superconductivity because electrons can bunch up together in them to exchange energy with each other should some of them experience a collision. The partner(s) of the collided electron takes up the momentum to replace the collided electron in the near-flat filament.
Inversion of band structure as the conduction band and valence band nearly merge is the key to generating superconductivity.
Ferromagnets can have very hot Curie temperatures, well above room temperature so the mass-coherent action of electrons is likely possible at room temperature. Two different atomic lattices being close together but with different band structures can create the inversion of band structure conducive to high density of states in the near-flat bands.
As electronic band structure is UNIVERSAL in atomic or molecular lattices, there are MYRIAD possibilities for the inversion of band structure as we pair different band structures to create near-flat filaments. Then we just need to almost jam-pack these filaments to create superconductivity. We can't have them fully packed because the electrons can't change momenta to conduct electricity. We need them to be heavily populated so that there are many partners for the collided electron to exchange momentum with.
It's time to usher in the Age of Aquarius with global collaboration.
Those were the days in the post-Watergate (hellish in NYC but internationally halcyon in nuclear-armed-power relations after the U.S.A. had warded off an impending nuclear war between the Soviet Union and Red China) years of the 1970s: https://youtu.be/QO9A9u4GyGc?si=yeh-ZTY98EzNIcG9
