Any superconductor will do actually, it’s just that the ones we have at this point need to be really frigging cold. A room temp superconductor is the dream, and would function exactly the same as one that only works at a few kelvin.
Comment on Finally, a USB standard that can provide the data AND power requirements of a city.

Superconductor kept at a few Kelvin should do it. Available on any system with build in cryogenic unit. It’s part of the D port standard after all.

Cryogenics is only an optional part of the standard. You’ll need to make sure both devices support the USB D pd420.69 spec otherwise you’ll never get the full rated speed.
Stupid usbif always making critical features optional.

Don’t forget the cable also needs the same.
