In October 2020, Elliot Snider of the University of Rochester, New York, and colleagues demonstrated room-temperature superconductivity at high pressures. Now, using a new synthesis method, the group has created a material that’s superconductive at a similar temperature but at a lower pressure [1]. The new technique could lead to the creation of further novel superconducting materials and thus to new opportunities to test theories of superconductivity.
