Get superconductivity working at say 0 deg C and you will be able to pick your accolade and price. Get it working at 100 deg C and you will have won the world.

I'll take 77 K any day of the week, especially if you can run a magnet with it at that temperature.

Note for the wider audience: 77 K is liquid nitrogen, vastly easier to produce and handle than liquid helium.

Quite right. The day when you can engage Heston Blumenthal to do your super conductivity experiment, is the day you have won!

(HB is an experimental chef who uses quite a lot of liquid N. Liquid He is probably not indicated for food prep)
