Houston researchers break 30-year superconductivity record, but the finish line remains distant

University of Houston physicists achieved 151 Kelvin superconductivity at ambient pressure, breaking a 30-year record, yet room temperature remains 140 degrees Celsius away.

The Daily Perspective

To which temperature do you heat your (living) room*?

  • the room you use most while you are at home and not sleeping
  • 2nd, improved poll because first one was only 1 day unintendedly
  • please round decimals (for Celsius °C see very first poll above)
  • pls boost for a better turnout
