Low pressure, high stakes: Physicists are making major gains in the race for room-temperature superconductivity
A team of physicists from the Nevada Extreme Conditions Lab (NEXCL) at UNLV used a diamond anvil cell, a research device similar to the one pictured, in their research to lower the pressure needed to observe material capable of superconductivity at ambient temperature.
