(Left) Development of the superconducting transition temperature Tc. Hydrogen sulfide's highest Tc is H2S (150 GPa), and this is 30 K higher than what was previously the highest Tc superconductor � Cuprate, Hg-Ba2Ca2Cu3Oy -- and the lowest temperature ever recorded on the Earth's surface to date (184 K/-93�).
