MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - April 17, 2018 - Scientists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Skoltech have demonstrated the high-temperature superconductivity of actinium hydrides and discovered a general principle for calculating the superconductivity of hydrides based only on the periodic table.
They have used a new algorithm to discover a material that could become a superconductor at close to room temperature. It will superconduct at minus 20°C (minus 4°F), although it still needs to be squeezed under high pressure.
