Ten Years of Near-Room-Temperature Superconductivity and the Profound Legacy of Mikhail Eremets

The discovery of superconductivity in pressurized H3S by Mikhail Eremets’ group in 2014 [1] represents the third fundamental milestone in the history of superconductivity, following those of Kamerlingh Onnes [2] and Bednorz and Müller [3]. In this special issue, dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the discovery of high-temperature superconducting hydrogen-rich materials, we aim to present the current state of research in superconductivity, focusing on the traditional topics covered by Physics of Metals and Metallography.
