Quantum Effects at work in the world’s Smelliest Superconductor

Crystal structures of the competing phases.

Crystal structures of the competing phases.

The quantum behaviour of hydrogen affects the structural properties of hydrogen-rich compounds, which are possible candidates for the elusive room temperature superconductor. New theoretical results suggest that the quantum nature of hydrogen – meaning that it can behave like a particle or a wave — strongly affects the recently discovered hydrogen sulphur superconductor, a compound that when subjected to extremely high pressure, is the highest-temperature superconductor yet identified...
