Researchers have discovered a material capable of superconductivity at practical temps—59F. Superconductivity enables an electrical current with no resistance, which opens the door to all sorts of wonders previously the realm of science-fiction. It is one of the great hopes of science to create a practical superconducting material. The new material, made from carbon, sulfur, and hydrogen, was created on a diamond anvil, and a laser was used to break down the sulfur bonds. Exactly what the team has made remains a mystery, as the anvil prevents closer examination. Why the anvil? Because the material requires 2.5 million atmospheres of pressure to work, which is something of a problem. –CL
