Less than two years ago the science world was shocked by the discovery of a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity. Now, a team of University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) physicists has upped the ante once again by reproducing the feat at the lowest pressure ever recorded. To be cle

by UNLV physicist Ashkan Salamat and colleague Ranga Dias, a physicist with the University of Rochester. To achieve the feat, the scientists chemically synthesized a mix of carbon, sulfur, and hydrogen first into a metallic state, and then even further into a room-temperature superconducting state using extremely high pressure – 267 gigapascals – conditions you’d only find in nature near the center of the Earth.
Though the pressures are still very high – about a thousand times higher than you’d experience at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench – they continue to race toward a goal of near-zero. It’s a race that’s gaining steam exponentially at UNLV as researchers gain a better understanding of the chemical relationship between the carbon, sulfur, and hydrogen that make up the material.

Carbon content drives high temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride below 100 GPaWe report a previously unobserved superconducting state of the photosynthesized carbonaceous sulfur hydride (C–S–H) system with a maximum TC of 191(1) K below 100 GPa. The properties of C–S–H are dependent on carbon content, and X-ray diffraction and simulations reveal the system remains molecular-like up to 100 GP
