First Elemental Superconductor with Tc Breaking into 30 K Range
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#69RPC)
University of Chicago, Nevada and Beijing University researchers have made a superconductor with a fairly high transition temperature (30 degrees kelvin) by putting one element Scandium under high pressure. Superconductivity above 30 K achieved in dense scandium. Superconductivity is one of most intriguing quantum phenomena, and the quest for elemental superconductors with high critical temperature ...
