A superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of between 260 K and 280 K was realized in a pressurized compound of lanthanum and hydrogen, they did use 2 million times the atmospheric pressure at Earth’s surface to achieve it.

Although a room-temperature superconductor that requires 200 gigapascals of pressure wouldn’t be at all useful outside the lab, it could provide a road map for formulating another material that behaves similarly at ambient pressure.https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.1.20180823b/full/

I'm curious to whether this has an effect on Cooper pairing.
