  • Raahul_Kumar estimated 70% and said “235 K is possible.on 2016-02-16
  • moridinamael said “There was no requirement for atmospheric pressure, and a 287 K superconductor at 267 GPa was discovered, so do we call this one settled?on 2020-10-14
  • moridinamael said “To answer the question you asked five years ago, 99% was probably too high in retrospect (despite the fact that I was right) but I found it difficult to imagine that we wouldn’t have figured this out by 2045on 2020-10-14
