Achievement of Superconductivity at Room-Temperature

Scientists from Various Universities ( Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA, Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR, USA, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV, USA, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV, USA ) and their research collaboration team have discovered a mystery material that conducts electricity without any resistance at a room temperature of up to 15 °C. It is a new record for superconductivity, a phenomenal effect which is usually operated at very cold temperatures. As per the discovery in 2015, the material itself shows the potential of a class of superconductors. Over the past decades, there was an emerging interest in the discovery of materials relevant to room-temperature superconductivity mainly for the produc...
