 Hope you already heard this news. An interesting new research topic in chemistry?

 Researcher Dr. John Tse and his colleauges in Germany reported superconducting activity in a new family of
hydrogen compund. They put hydrogen in to a molecular compund and applied high pressure inorder to get superconductivity.
Most commercially available superconducting materials operates only at very low temperatures. This requires
super cooling equipments which are highly expensive.Their research in this area is aimed at improving the
critical temperature (Tc) for superconductivity so that new superconductors can be operated at higher temperatures
or even without a refrigerant. Anyway this seems to be an important breakthrough in modern Chemistry. Superconductivity
almost lost its past charm and glamour in research and now this brilliant chemists opened a new way
in modern chemistry.
