Superconductivity at Near Room Temperature Under Very High Pressure
Superconductivity was achieved at a record high temperature of minus-23 degrees Celsius (minus-9 degrees Fahrenheit)—a jump of about 50 degrees compared to the previous confirmed record. This was done at high pressures that were 1.5 million times more than sea level atmosphere. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany teamed up with …
