For The First Time, Physicists Have Achieved Superconductivity at Room Temperature
Editor's note (21 Mar 2022): Concerns have been raised over the manner used for data processing and interpretation in this study, so we advise our readers to treat the report with caution.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Room-temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride - Nature
Room-temperature superconductivity is observed in a photochemically synthesized ternary carbonaceous sulfur hydride system at 15 °C and 267 GPa.

So, apparently, a lab in U. Rochester managed to observe superconductivity at 15 °C (and 270 GPa). Still not useable, but pretty impressive and apparently, they're not sure yet of the exact mechanism in play. @Vorpal, you might be interested.
