Room-temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride!

Saturday, October 17th, 2020

The title of this post indicates the exciting prospect that a method of producing a room temperature superconductor has finally been achived[1]. This is only possible at enormous pressures however; >267 gigaPascals (GPa) or 2,635,023 atmospheres.
