What's a dream today could be reality 10 years down the track.  When Dr Neil Ashcroft (who is well known for his textbook, Solid State Physics), the British Physicist based in Cornell first stated this idea, decades ago, that Hydrogen based materials would superconduct at higher temperatures no one believed him outside the high-pressure research community. Now he is proven correct. That's where the researchers come in.Now Dr Dias and his team found that using three materials (Carbon, Sulphur and Hydrogen) it is possible to do this. They could achieve superconductivity at 287.7 Kelvin (14.55 deg C) at a pressure of 267 gigaPascals (2.6 Million times the standard atmospheric pressure)Earlier in 2018, a high-pressure compound of Hydrogen and Lanthanum (LaH10) was shown to be superconductive at −13 °C.</blockquote>
