Room-temperature superconductors are theoretically possible through high-temperature phonon-mediated or electronic pairing mechanisms
Current physical theories and programmatic approaches indicate that room-temperature superconductivity is theoretically possible, driven by advances in understanding phonon-mediated and electronic pairing mechanisms.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the theoretical possibility of room-temperature or high-temperature superconductivity through various pairing mechanisms (such as phonon-mediated or electronic interactions), while noting ongoing challenges in synthesis and prediction.
