Superconductor announcement

Praseodymium hydrides with coordination not matching valency due to quantum effects.
And lanthanum might become a less boring element.

Interesting! Eventually there will be superconductors at room temperature. I am starting to realise the rare earths are quite interesting, some nice compound colors and seems they are not as toxic as some other more common elements.

They again room temperature super conductors may never be achieved. It's a bit like fusion, always around the corner.
I have no clue though.
