Scientists have discovered a new, miraculous substance

Scientists have discovered a new, miraculous substance Media reports described it as a "miracle", as it works at temperatures and pressures low enough to be used to transmit electricity without resistance. The Wall Street Journal reported that American scientists have produced the first material that "eliminates energy loss as electricity moves along the wire," which represents a "scientific breakthrough" that could mean longer-lasting batteries and more efficient power grids. Materials that can conduct electric currents without any resistance, known as superconductors, were highly impractical because they usually needed to be extremely cold (about minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit) and subjected to extreme pressure in order to work. For its part, the British newspaper "The Independent" said that this substance has been pursued by scientists for more than a century, noting that its discovery could lead to the emergence of power networks capable of trans…
