TL;DR Summary

Researchers at Columbia University have developed a superconductor made of a superatomic material that operates at room temperature, making it the fastest and most efficient semiconductor. The superconductor, known as Re6Se8Cl2, overcomes the limitations of silicon by minimizing heat generation and improving information transfer speeds by reducing energy loss caused by phonon scattering.
