Researchers break 30-year superconductivity record with 151K zero-resistance material

How the Record Was Broken

University of Houston researchers have set a new superconductivity record, achieving zero-resistance electricity flow at 151 Kelvin under normal pressure, surpassing the 30-year-old ambient-pressure benchmark of 133 Kelvin. How the Record Was Broken Physicists Ching-Wu Chu and Liangzi Deng achieved the breakthrough using a technique called pressure quenching. They exposed a material to high pressure … Read more
