Yes, it is STP we usually look for, not just ST or SP. 2.6 megabars is substantive....

There may, however, end up being a case where you could get fusion kicked off at say -40 C at a few thousands or ten thousands of bars.... some combination of not so much pressure and not so much warmth, but that makes both together feasible. Then we've got something.

A quick shufti does disclose at least one downside - superconducts at
room _temperature_ but not room _pressure_ (2.6 megabar).

As you said, a step forward, regardless.
