Room-temperature superconductivity in a copper-oxide was detected for the first time by heating it to observe a superconductive transition.
The question of whether room-temperature superconductivity (RTSC) is possible in the copper-oxides has been answered. Superconductors.ORG herein reports the observation of superconductivity near 28 Celsius (83F, 301K) in a senary oxycuprate. For details see: http://www.superconductors.org/28c_rtsc.htm
