Earlier this month, a breakthrough in room-temperature superconductors shook the department of condensed-matter physics. Prof. Ranga Dias, and his colleagues from the University of Rochester and University of Nevada Las Vegas, have observed superconductivity in a hydrogen-dominant material at 15°C, under high pressures. The material used as the superconductor was a carbonaceous sulfur hydride (aContinue reading “Progress in Superconductor Study Shatters Past Records”
