Apparently the researchers seem to think that there could be a moderate pressure material that superconducts up to 250K waiting to be discovered. The possibility that a relatively simple palladium compound such as PdXSbH4S or PdXCdH3S that superconducts at useful temperatures under mere hundreds of kilobars of pressure is too important to ignore.

LoL.
I get that that would be a considerable step forward and a new precedent but I would hardly call 10 GPa commonly encountered or easily achieved. Maybe when CNT reinforced pressure vessels become commonly available.

EDIT: determined the cause for lack of interest other than a few unusual patents being filed, seems I gave too much away. On the other hand it significantly advanced research so it wasn't a total loss. The IISC results are "interesting" but without a working sample its difficult to verify. Evidently the correct thing would have been to submit the information as a scientific paper back when I originally observed the effect even without a complete theory but I wasn't to know this.
