Home > Room temperature superconductor


 

A room temperature superconductor is material yet to be discovered which would be capable of exhibiting superconducting properties at temperatures above 0° C (273.15 K). This is of course not strictly speaking "room temperature" however it can be reached very cheaply even for large machines (for example, meat closets reach this temperature).

Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, several materials have been claimed as being room-temperature superconductors. In every case, independent investigation has quickly proved these claims false. As a result, most condensed matter physicists now welcome with extreme scepticism any further claims of this nature.
