There are materials possible that will completely change the world.
Theres probably a room temperature superconductor for example.
The number of possibilities is effectively infinite though, since its not just which atoms, but also how they're arranged.
I thought that one was a no go? Did I miss more news?
As in, one probably exists but has not been discovered yet. Every year scientists get them running closer and closer to room temperature
You are right, however, it's worth noting most of these materials are highly complex and contain exotic elements. Basically these compounds are not suitable for any real life application in long range energy transfer
