The First Room Temperature Superconductor! (Still No Hoverboards) | SciShow News

The video discusses the groundbreaking discovery of a room temperature superconductor, which could revolutionize technology by making electricity more efficient and enabling new applications like levitating trains. However, the material currently requires extremely high pressures, making it impractical for everyday use. The video also introduces a new type of paint that stays cooler than its surroundings, potentially reducing energy consumption for cooling buildings. This paint uses calcium carbonate and reflects a high percentage of solar radiation, offering an affordable and environmentally friendly solution.
