A room-temperature superconductor is a hypothetical material capable of displaying above 0 °C (273 K; 32 °F), which are commonly encountered in everyday settings. As of 2023, the material with the highest accepted superconducting temperature was highly pressurized, whose is approximately 250 K (−23 °C; −10 °F) at 150 GPa.

A room-temperature superconductor is a hypothetical material capable of displaying superconductivity above 0 °C (273 K; 32 °F), operating temperatures which are commonly encountered in everyday settings. As of 2023, the material with the highest accepted superconducting temperature was highly pressurized. . Since the discovery of ("high" being temperatures above 77 K (−196.2 °C; −321.1 °F), the boiling point of ), several materials have been claimed,. . Metallic hydrogen and phonon-mediated pairingTheoretical work by British physicist predicted that solid at extremely high pressure (~500 ) should become superconducting at approximately room.
