We do not yet even understand the mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity, so whether or not it is possible to push Tc to higher tempeatures is unknown.
Also, e.g. the pnictides have only been around for a few years, and ther discovery shows that it is possible that there are families of superconductors that are yet to be discovered.
A superconductor is a material that has the ability to conduct electricity with zero resistance and without losing any energy. This means that the current can flow through the material indefinitely without any loss of energy.
Superconductivity at room temperature refers to the ability of a material to conduct electricity without resistance at normal room temperature (around 25°C or 77°F). This is significant because most superconductors require extremely low temperatures (close to absolute zero) to exhibit this behavior.
Superconductivity at room temperature has the potential to revolutionize many industries, including energy production, transportation, and computing. It would greatly improve efficiency and decrease energy loss, leading to significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
Superconductivity at room temperature occurs when a material is able to maintain a state of zero electrical resistance at temperatures above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (-196°C or -321°F). This is possible when the material’s electrons are able to move freely without any resistance or loss of energy.
Although superconductivity at room temperature has not yet been achieved, some recent studies have shown promising results with certain materials, including hydrogen sulfide, lanthanum hydride, and carbonaceous sulfur hydride. However, more research and experimentation is needed to fully understand and harness this phenomenon.
