Publisher's Synopsis
The spellbinding tale of the search for the first room temperature and ambient pressure superconductor, over the course of two decades by South Korean scientists Lee and Kim. As well as the hilarious discovery of the discovery on Twitter over the course of the summer of 2023 by a motley crew of citizen scientists, shadowy coders, and an anonymous Russian anime cat girl.
This book covers the historical background, various attempts over the years to discover a useful superconducting material, the highs and the lows of scientific discovery, the persistence of those involved, the successes, the failures, the desperate search for money, the disillusionment and finally the pinnacle reached.
