I would understand that is mean relative to existing low temp regimes. For example, conducting high current in the liquid nitrogen range would be a big step versus transmission using liquid helium. At the SSCL (Superconducting Super Collider Lab) in Texas (before premature termination), the power supplies were typically 10,000-15,000 amps at 7-10 VDC when using liquid HE. The Cu conduits resembled 2x6 boards!

Re: [Vo]:A Super New Theory to Explain Superconductivity

relentless progress towards usable RTSC - room temperature superconductivity -

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

Ternary Hydrides

... 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.
