Hydride research furthers superconductors that will not require ultra-high pressure to function

"yttrium-cerium hydrides and lanthanum-cerium hydrides... enhanced chemical pre-compression effect through their cerium components, maintaining relatively high transition temperatures at lower pressure... far beyond recognized standard set by copper oxides (cuprates)... still have a way to go to reach truly ambient conditions: achieving superconductivity at room temperature and in pressure equivalent to our familiar ground-level atmosphere"
