Scientists at the University of Chicago say they have discovered superconductivity-the ability to conduct electricity perfectly, at highest temperature ever recorded. They studied a class of materials in which they observed superconductivity at temperatures of about -23.C, a jump of about 50. compared to the previous record. A new class of materials of superconducting hydrides could pave the way for higher temp superconductivity.
