A Century of Progress Toward Room-Temperature Superconductivity: Materials Evolution, Mechanistic Insights, and Current Challenges

Since the discovery of superconductivity in mercury in 1911, a central objective of the field has been to raise the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) toward room temperature. Over more than a century, this search has progressed through several distinct material paradigms: conventional phonon-mediated supercon...
