Researchers at the University of Houston have reported a new highest superconducting transition temperature at ambient pressure, reaching 151 K (-122°C) using a “pressure quench” method on a mercury-based cuprate. Reported in March 2026, the result breaks a 33-year-old ambient-pressure record and matters because most higher-temperature superconductors still require extreme pressures that limit practical use.
