Physics 'Red matter' superconductor could transform electronics – if it works. Researchers have long attempted to produce a superconductor that works at room temperature and at a relatively low ...

The original paper reported that a material, dubbed “red matter,” was a room temperature superconductor at 10,000 atmospheric pressure. But the work was immediately scrutinized by scientists.

But does it matter whether one wears red or blue? Yes, suggest several studies, including one published in the journal Science on Feb. 6, 2009. More on that in a moment.
