A Superconductor Found in Nature has Shaken the Scientific World

The scientific community is buzzing with the groundbreaking revelation of the first-known natural unconventional superconductor - Miassite. Superconductivity, a state where electrical resistance within a solid material drops to zero, was first brought to light in 1911 by the Dutch scientist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and his students. Ever since, the scientific world has been on a quest to decipher its various forms. The conventional superconductors adhere to a well-established model known as Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Theory (BCS).
