Groundbreaking Prediction: Bilayer Borophene Superconducts at 68 Kelvin!

A new study in Physical Review Letters suggests bilayer borophene could superconduct at a record-breaking 68 Kelvin, nearly doubling previous ambient pressure elemental records. Researchers highlight unique covalent interlayer bonds as key to its enhanced electron-phonon coupling. While this remains a theoretical prediction, the implications for material science could reshape future superconductors.
