I hypothesize that the fundamental impediment to free-electron transport is the vacuum gaps that form randomly outside the free-electron orbital regions as a result of thermal vibrations. Accordingly, I propose that if one can synthesize a molecular framework in which interatomic distances are sufficiently short to preclude the formation of these gaps, superconductivity at ambient temperature and pressure should, in principle, be achievable.
