Referred to as a
'superballistic' flow, the newly discovered behaviour describes how groups of electrons can travel through tight spaces faster than a single electron, and it could lead to materials that can transmit electricity with almost no resistance.
That would be huge, because while superconductivity offers zero resistance - making it one of the most intriguing and
potentially lucrative phenomena in physics - it can only be achieved at super-chill temperatures below 5.8 K (-267°C or -450°F).
If researchers can recreate this new superballistic flow of electrons in a conductive material, they could harness many of the benefits of superconductivity in the much-coveted room temperature environment.
