A New Room Temperature Superconductor Discovered

I have always been fascinated by superconductors ever since College when we experimented with NIB magnets in liquid nitrogen.

Recently, there is great news coming from the physics world recently. Two different room different room temperature superconductors results in a matter of months. An intriguing set of discoveries that could open the flood gates for new applications.

In September 2020, a completely new mechanism of superconductivity in SrRuO4 a.k.a “g-wave”. Check out this story in phys.org

The most recent was this week, discussed in Nature.com in which the researchers put carbonaceous sulfur hydride at very high pressure (267 GPa). Of course can become a crazy strong stink bomb as well 😀
