The materials
Metastable
Holding a state it will eventually leave. A metastable superconducting phase can be real, measured and published, and still unusable, because it does not last or cannot be made large.
Why metastable matters
A metastable phase can be measured, published and entirely real, and still not last long enough or scale large enough to be wound into anything.
