"Breakthrough: Unprecedented Superconducting Transition Temperature Achieved"
TL;DR
Researchers have achieved a new record for the highest elemental superconducting transition temperature by reaching 36 K in elemental scandium (Sc) under high pressure. The study provides insights into the relationship between the structure of elemental materials and their superconducting properties, opening up possibilities for discovering high-temperature superconducting materials in simple systems.
