  Superconductivity at standard temperature and pressure is far from the
extreme conditions where new fundamental laws of physics are expected to arise.
Yet it is widely believed that the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson-Fisher paradigm of
broken symmetry and renormalization does not give a satisfactory account of the
phenomenon. Almost a decade ago, we used the Bardeen-Cooper-Shrieffer
wavefunction to show that superconductors have topological order. Here we
report progress using topological order to look for standard temperature and
pressure superconductivity.
