Superconducting materials, discovered in 1911, have found widespread applications, such as in magnetic resonance imaging in hospitals. However, a comprehensive model for these materials is still elusive. A superconducting material capable of operating at room temperature could significantly reduce costs across all electricity applications, given the absence of losses due to zero electrical resistance. The project aims to leverage high-brightness X-rays to devise new spectroscopic techniques for studying materials under extreme conditions, with the ultimate goal of discovering a room-temperature superconductor. If successful, this would provide the most favorable conditions to date for microscopically understanding the phenomenon of superconductivity and observing it at room temperature. Such a breakthrough can potentially revolutionize all technological applications in our society, thereby fundamentally transforming the world as we know it.
