For the metric people, from the actual paper abstract:
> Here we report superconductivity in a photochemically transformed carbonaceous sulfur hydride system, starting from elemental precursors, with a maximum superconducting transition temperature of 287.7 ± 1.2 kelvin (about 15 degrees Celsius) achieved at 267 ± 10 gigapascals.
- mnw21cam 6y agoIt absolutely boggles my mind that a science web site, reporting on a science breakthrough would report the result in such antiquated units. WTF, people?
- newen 6y agoI think it’s because the writers have this thing called “people skills”.
- augusto-moura 6y agoOr they are just americans that forgot about the rest of the world or don't even care
