Always Hydrogen has been the best candidate for room temperature superconductivity but it need extremely high pressure to become metallic. 1) Improvment of diamond anvil cells (DAC) which today allows to reach 600 Gpa exceeding the pressure in the Earth's inner core (360 GPa). Several new elements superconducting under pressure discovered in the last 15 years: Sulfur (17 K), Oxygen 0.6 K) , Iron (1.2 K) , Boron (11 K), Lithium (20 K), Europium (2.5 K). Dense hydrogen has been made conductive at around 300 Gpa. 2) Discovery of MgB2 which clarifies that high Tc superconductivity is promoted by covalent bonds which assure strong electron–phonon coupling. These conditions can be fulfilled for covalent compounds dominated by hydrogen N.W. Ashcroft (Hydrogen Dominant Metallic Alloys: High Temperature Superconductors? Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 187002 (2004). Ashcroft’s idea was supported in numerous calculations predicting high values of Tc for many hydrides. So far only Tc ~17 K has been observed experimentally in silane under pressure. The discovery of superconductivity 190 K in H2S has been posted on arXiv.org in December 2014 by the Eremet’s group. . 37 IEEE/CSC & ESAS SUPERCONDUCTIVITY NEWS FORUM (global edition), October 2015.

Another step towards achieving superconductivity at room temperature has been done. The myth that BCS superconductors can not be a high temperature superconductor has been debunked. There are many hydrogen-containing materials with strong covalent bonding (such as organics) but typically they are insulators. In principle, they could be tuned to a metallic state by doping or gating. High power available ab-initio calculation method could facilitate exploration for the desired High Tc materials. 42 IEEE/CSC & ESAS SUPERCONDUCTIVITY NEWS FORUM (global edition), October 2015.
