    Summary:
    Scientists at the University of Houston have shattered a long-standing superconductivity record,
    creating a material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance at the highest temperature
    ever achieved under normal pressure conditions.
    Their breakthrough pushes superconductivity to 151 Kelvin (minus 122øC),
    beating a record that stood for more than 30 years.

    Not sure how long superconductivety remains in their experiment
    after the high pressure is released..

    If it remains then you could use a few Peltier cells in series to cool your superconducting chip?
