Physicists break longstanding high-temperature superconductivity record at ambient pressure

Summary by Phys.org
Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient pressure—a breakthrough that could eventually lead to more efficient ways to generate, transmit, and store energy.

A group of physicists achieved a new record of ambient pressure superconductivity temperature, notably reaching a transition temperature of -122 °C, 18 °C more than the previous record. This progress was made possible using a pressure soaking technique that exposes the material to intense pressure to increase its transition temperature. Although this temperature is still far from approaching the ambient, it is an additional step towards this goa…

Physicists in the USA have reached a new temperature record for superconductivity under normal pressure conditions. Progress of this kind helps to bring the lossless transfer of electricity into new applications. (Continue reading)
