TL;DR Summary

Scientists have identified the world's first unconventional superconductor found in nature, a mineral called miassite, which exhibits superconductivity at low temperatures without using typical quantum mechanisms. This discovery opens up new possibilities for advancing fields such as quantum science and superconductor technology, as miassite's unique properties could lead to novel applications. The research team conducted detailed lab tests to confirm miassite's unconventional superconductivity, and the findings have been published in Communications Materials.
