Two years ago, a team of physicists synthesized a room-temperature superconducting material for the first time, making the material superconducting at 15°C under an extreme pressure of 267 GPa. Recently, the team published new research breaking the previous record, making the material appear superconducting at room temperature with only 91 GPa pressure.
Those seeking a dystopian postcard for the effects of long-term megadrought and human-caused climate change will find a dandy at Lake Mead.
Less than two years after shocking the science world with the discovery of a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity, a team of 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ physicists has upped the ante once again by reproducing the feat at the lowest pressure ever recorded.
