TL;DR Summary

Scientists have discovered a superconducting material, nicknamed "reddmatter", that can transmit electricity without resistance and pass magnetic fields around the material. The material can be used practically as it works at a low temperature and pressure. It could lead to power grids that can seamlessly transmit energy, saving up to 200 million megawatt hours lost to resistance. It could also contribute to nuclear fusion, high-speed trains, and new medical equipment. The material is made by mixing lutetium with hydrogen and a small part of nitrogen and then pressing it at high pressure.
