To recap, preprints appeared last week making the remarkable claim of a well-above-room-temperature superconducting material at ambient pressure, dubbed LK-99. This is one of the most sought-after goals in all of materials science and condensed matter physics, something that until now has only ...
The goal of new research at the University of Rochester is to develop room temperature superconducting materials. Currently, extreme cold is required to achieve superconductivity, as demonstrated in this photo in which a magnet floats above a superconductor cooled with liquid nit...
Room-temperature superconducting materials would lead to many new possibilities for practical applications, including ultraefficient electricity grids, ultrafast and energy-efficient computer chips, and ultrapowerful magnets that can be used to levitate trains and control fusion reactors. A superconductor is ...

Recently, scientists claim they find 287.7K superconductivity in C-S-H system under 267GPa pressure, which breaks the record of 260K in LaH10 and further approaches room temperature. This study opens a new route to explore superconducting materials near room temperature....
Despite ongoing efforts by scientists to search for new materials and approaches, achieving true room-temperature superconductivity still poses many technological obstacles. Over the past several decades, some high-temperature superconducting materials have been discovered, with cuprates and iron-based ...
One of the long-standing challenges in experimental physics is the observation of room-temperature superconductivity1,2. Recently, high-temperature conventional superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials has been reported in several systems under high pressure3,4,5. An important discovery leading to roo...

. And both temperature and pressure affect its volume. It seems that the stress generated by the decrease in volume under the low temperature or high pressure causes a minute strain or distortion. Although it is difficult to observe the minute structural changes in superconducting materials, this ...
One catch: all existing superconducting materials only work at extremely cold temperatures—over 100 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. 🪨 Get a Closer Look Room-Temperature Superconductors, Explained For decades, researchers have been attempting to create a superconductor that works at normal temperatures ...
