break 30-year superconductivity record at normal pressure Scientists just smashed a superconductivity record — bringing the dream of lossless power and futuristic energy tech one big step closer. Date: May 27, 2026 Source: University of Houston Summary: Scientists at the University of Houston have shattered a long-standing superconductivity record, creating a material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance at the highest temperature ever achieved under normal pressure conditions. Their breakthrough pushes superconductivity to 151 Kelvin (minus 122°C), beating a record that stood for more than 30 years.

Not sure how long superconductivety remains in their experiment after the high pressure is released..



If it remains then you could use a few Peltier cells in series to cool your superconducting chip?
