Well as this paper implies, the field of superconductivity is "heating up" these days ..literally The prior story which may be very important on this point - and in the relentless progress towards usable RTSC - room temperature superconductivity - itself came out just a few weeks back
https://phys.org/news/2021-07-ternary-hydrides-lanthanum-yttrium-high-temperature.html' ... which is a high pressure but ambient temp (non cryogenic) phenomenon... involving superhydrides ... which curiously could be related to LENR and the Mills/Holmlid effect, if as I suspect the superhydrides are found to be in highly redundant ground states (as an alternative to pressurization) The holy grail of course would be a metal superhydride going into RTSC phase at ambient pressure. This advance would revolutionized the economy in so may ways - it would be the "next big thing" as they say. Does the "Berry phase" of this new theory help us to understand superhydride RTSC ? It doesn't look that way so far. The whole thing could be little more than hype if it does not illuminate RTSC. You have to worry when a PR firm releases a technical paper.
