Superconductivity Record Has Been Broken

Here is a bit more information on the potential of superconductors and background on this finding:

A superconductor that works at room-temperature would make everyday electricity generation and transmission vastly more efficient, as well as giving a massive boost to current uses of superconductivity such as the enormous magnets used in medical imaging machines.

In an accompanying News & Views article on Nature‘s website, Igor Mazin of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC describes the hydrogen sulfide discovery as “the holy grail of superconductors”4. Physicist Fan Zhang of the University of Texas at Dallas agrees, saying that the finding is “historic” and that its impact will be “far ranging”.

We’re looking forward to more updates from this smelly superconducting compound 😉

    Does that mean (tampering with the temperature) there are other superconductors that we have not identified because it’s not the right temp? If universities would focus on the work experiments of Nikola Tesla, there would be a possibility of so many possibilities.
