Scientists break a 30-year record achieve superconduction at -190 degrees Fahrenheit

SMRTR summary

Scientists have broken a 30-year-old superconductivity record by achieving superconductivity at -190°F under normal pressure. By squeezing a copper-oxide material under extreme pressure, then rapidly releasing it, researchers trapped the material in a state that retained its enhanced properties, opening new paths toward practical superconductor technology.
