Can Injecting Rubidium into Bucky Balls Create High-Temperature Superconductors?

[newjerseyrunner]

I've read a few news articles recently about a Japanese team who've created a Jahn-Teller metal by injecting a rubidium atom into a bucky ball. They all mention a possibility of using it to create superconductor at high temperature, but the details are never there. Is this just a possibility or a strong contender?

At this stage, it is just a possibility. While the team has made a significant breakthrough in creating a Jahn-Teller metal by injecting a rubidium atom into a bucky ball, further research needs to be conducted to determine whether this method can be used to create a superconductor at high temperature. As of now, there is no evidence that this is a strong contender for creating a superconductor at high temperature.
