The new copper-oxide-based materials superconduct at temperatures as high as 125K, requiring a new mechanism for superconductivity and raising hopes for a room temperature superconductor.

Passive microwave device applications of high-Tc superconducting thin films

Although researchers have developed 'high-temperature superconductors', even the warmest of them- the cuprates - must be chilled halfway to absolute zero before they will superconduct.

Superconducting 'pseudogap' is a new phase of matter

Besides pursuing a phosphorus version of the silicon superconductor, Bustarret and his team are force-feeding elements to other semiconductors--such as aluminum nitride--that they expect to superconduct at higher temperatures.
