Stinky Hydrogen Sulphide smashes the superconductor temperature record

Thus we can say thatstinky hydrogen sulphide has truly smashed the superconductor temperature record. This pressure is almost similar to half of the pressure of the Earths core. Until now, none of the materials has shown superconductive properties with zero resistance at such high temperatures! Due to this phenomenon the magnet starts tolevitate above a superconductor. The research team had to use extremely high temperature to achieve this superconductive state in hydrogen sulphide....
