CONTEXT:

  • International researchers have broken the record for superconductivity at the highest temperature recorded to date at around -23°C.
  • They created a new material, called lanthanum superhydrides, to achieve the same.
  • The material was, however, placed under extremely high pressure ranging between 150-170 gigapascals to reach the new record.
