Explore cutting-edge research in superconductivity through this Presidential Lecture by Lilia Boeri from the Simons Foundation. Discover how Eremets' groundbreaking discovery of near room-temperature superconductivity in high-pressure hydrides revolutionized the field by demonstrating that extreme pressure can stabilize phases with unprecedented properties impossible under ambient conditions. Learn about the emerging practical strategy of pressure quenching, which allows researchers to retain high-temperature superconducting phases at ambient pressure by preserving structures originally formed under extreme conditions. Examine the developments that have occurred in the decade following the discovery of hydrogen sulfide superconductors and understand how this innovative approach is paving the way for designing next-generation superconductors with enhanced properties and practical applications.
