There was that week where it seemed like a cheap and easy super conductor was possible with lead and copper.

I was a little bit sceptical but I got quite a bit of hope up because it seemed like that would help with climate change a bunch. And it wasn't possible...

I actually still believe it is a super conductor, just not a practically manufacturable one.
