Room Temp Super Conductors HONEST!

This annoys me, not the scientists doing it but the journalists, it’s another example of silly reporting.

Yep the hydrogen compound may well superconduct at room temperature, but you’ve got to have all the kit to compress it which really is not that easy at all! AND when you compress it the damn thing heats up so you’ve still got to cool it!

Impractical!
