When superconductivity was detected more than 100 years ago the materials had to be very cold, close to absolute zero (-273.15 Celsius). In order to make better use of it, for instance, to reduce the loss of energy in the transmission in electrical grids, much higher temperature are necessary. Now with a new material a new record has been achieved at 15 degrees Celsius, regrettably still at very high pressures only.
