Recent scientific research from the University of Rochester, and published in the journal Nature, suggests a new breakthrough could make electricity 15% cheaper over the next decade or two. This breakthrough was achieved by created a superconducting material that works at 69 degrees Fahrenheit and at a lower pressure.
Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who observed that the electrical resistance of mercury dropped to zero when it was cooled to a temperature close to absolute zero (-273.15°C).
