Room-Temperature Superconductivity Achieved for the First Time
Physicists have reached a long-sought goal. The catch is that their room-temperature superconductor requires crushing pressures to keep from falling apart.
By Charlie Wood
The hydrogen, carbon and sulfur compound operates as a superconductor at up to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, only while being crushed to pressures roughly 75% as found in the Earth’s core.
