Newfound superconducting current travels along a material’s edge

OK another amazing discovery of many in recent times about superconductors. However, we are still waiting for the holy grail of a room temperature superconductor!

" ... But in a thin sheet of molybdenum ditelluride chilled to near absolute zero, the interior and edge make up two distinct superconductors ... The two superconductors are “basically ignoring each other,” ... 
This distinction between exterior and interior makes molybdenum ditelluride an example of what are called topological materials. ... "
