A tentative but less nebulous step toward superconductor-fueled electronics.

You aren't going to heat something to 127 °C with an AA battery.

    The 127C is the critical temperature. With other superconductors, if you get the material below the critical temperature, its starts superconducting. From the descriptions I've seen, the meaning of critical temperature is the same with this material, so it should superconduct at 23C just fine, presuming it is a superconductor.

    Most people don't consider 127 °C to be room temperature.
