Context: Recently, scientists found strong evidence that Niobium Diselenide (NbSe₂) behaves like a Bose metal under certain conditions.

What are Bose Metals?

It is a special type of metal that behaves almost like a superconductor but doesn’t fully transition into one.

Cooper Pairs Exist: Like in superconductors, electrons form Cooper pairs at very low temperatures.
No Zero Resistance: Unlike superconductors, these pairs don’t fully organize, so the material still has some resistance instead of zero.
Better Than Normal Metals: Bose metals conduct electricity better than regular metals but worse than superconductors.

What is Superconductivity?

Superconductivity is when a metal conducts electricity with zero resistance at very low temperatures.
Zinc at -272.3°C becomes a superconductor with infinite conductivity (no energy loss).
This happens because electrons in the metal form Cooper pairs, which move without resistance.
