Researchers find upper limit of superconducting temperature linked to fundamental constants of nature.

Upper limit ranges from hundreds to a thousand Kelvin -- a range that comfortably includes room temperature.

Superconductors have the potential to revolutionize energy transmission, medical imaging, and quantum computing.

In a universe where the limit is a million Kelvin , superconductors would be common—even in your electric kettle.
