Scientists shatter 30-year superconductivity record with zero-resistance material that works at normal pressure
Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a superconductivity record of 151 Kelvin at ambient pressure using a technique called pressure quenching. While not yet a room-temperature superconductor, this breakthrough significantly advances the potential for energy-efficient power grids and electronics.
Why it matters
Superconductors that function at higher temperatures and normal pressures could revolutionize energy transmission, storage, and medical imaging technology by eliminating electrical resistance.
