“A novel metallic compound of hydrogen, carbon and sulfur exhibited superconductivity at a balmy 59 degrees Fahrenheit when pressurized between a pair of diamond anvils. […] That’s a chilly room, maybe a British Victorian cottage.”

@tripu "the substance superconducts at room temperature only while being crushed between a pair of diamonds to pressures roughly 75% as extreme as those found in the Earth’s core."
That sounds much more difficult than cooling down the material...
