TL;DR

Physicists from Emory University and Stanford University have discovered a new form of superconductivity called oscillating superconductivity, which occurs at relatively warmer temperatures compared to traditional superconductivity. The researchers found that specific structures known as Van Hove singularities can produce modulating, oscillating states of superconductivity. This finding could provide a new theoretical framework for understanding and potentially managing superconductivity at room temperature, which would have significant implications for various applications, including power grids and personal electronics. While still theoretical, this research improves our understanding of superconductivity and its potential for more efficient and cost-effective electricity transmission.
