The materials

Hydride superconductor

A hydrogen-rich compound superconducting within a few tens of kelvin of freezing, but only inside a diamond anvil cell at 150 to 200 gigapascals. Nothing can be built at that pressure.

Why hydride superconductor matters

The pressures involved are held inside a cell smaller than a grain of rice, so these results inform theory rather than devices.

Where hydride superconductor comes up

SuperMatics is a platform infrastructure company for superconducting devices: software that finds the material and the process, lab work that makes and measures it, and pilot manufacturing with industrial partners.If you have a device and a constraint it has to meet, tell us about it.
