Currently, the superconductor with the highest critical temperature ever recorded is Mercury Barium Thallium Copper Oxide or Hg0.2Tl0.8Ca2Cu3O, which has a critical temperature of 139 K at one atmosphere. This superconductor is a type of ceramic copper oxide and its critical temperature was determined in 1995 by Chakoumakos, Dai, Wong, Sun, Lu, and Xin. Apparently, metal-copper oxide ceramic superconductors have high critical temperatures, which might unlock the key of synthesizing a high temperature superconductor that is superconductive under room temperature conditions.

Is the concept of a room temperature superconductor a reality?

As of now, the concept of a room temperature superconductor is not a reality. Scientists are still researching and working towards achieving superconductivity at higher temperatures, but it has not been achieved yet.


Do Hindu believe in absolute truth?

yes, hindus certainly believe that highest understanding has been achieved. But it can only be achieved by meditation.


What is the highest temperature achieved?

The highest temperature ever achieved in a laboratory setting was about 4 trillion degrees Celsius, achieved at the Large Hadron Collider. In nature, the highest temperatures are found in extreme events like supernova explosions.


Why is Superconductivity still a hypothesis?

Superconductivity is not a hypothesis, it is a fact. It has been observed many times and is used for a variety of purposes. What is hypothetical is theories as to why it happens. The reasons have not been established yet, so it remains theoretical.


Has the Bose-Einstein Condensate ever been achieved?

Yes. It is now regularly achieved, despite the fact that the required temperature is less than a microkelvin.

Is the temperature the coldest?

It may be the coldest temperature that some locations have reached, but it's not even close to the coldest air temperature reached or certainly that which has been achieved with technology.


Was 1998 the year with the highest average temperature?

It has been surpassed by 2005 and 2010.


How absolute temperature has been achieved?

Absolute zero has not been achieved, temperature is simply proportional to the speed of the molecules, and absolute zero is the temperature that corresponds to a molecule that is not moving at all. While it happens all the time instantanously, we cannot get groups of molecules to stop moving altogether. We have gotten molecules extremely close to that speed using magnets to pull energy from molecules.
