A strange fascination
Studies of exotic materials called “strange metals” point to a whole new way to understand electricity
They (fermions) form what we call 'Cooper pairs'. Leon Cooper discovered them in 1956.
Many physicists have studied them ever since. Progress is pretty rapid although room temperature superconducting ceramics may be a couple of generations into the future.
