| Description | Journal: Physics World Physicists have more than doubled the temperature at which carbon-60 molecules–also known as buckyballs–become super-conducting. Hendrik Schön and co-workers at Bell Labs in the US managed to raise the so-called transition temperature to 117 K by wedging chloroform (CHC13) and bromoform (CHBr3) between the carbon-60 molecules. The increase in temperature is due to the expansion of the crystal structure, and could even exceed 150 K if the lattice spacing can be stretched by an additional 1% (J Schön et al. 2001 Science at press). |
