Abstract Contrary to the current consensus, I argue that existing evidence for high temperature superconductivity in hydrides under pressure is not compelling. suggest focus of field should urgently shift establish unequivocally experimentally whether or pressurized exists, instead continuing search new materials might show elusive signals unproven at ever higher temperatures. The implications ...

Here, the search for superconducting hydrides is supercharged by a high-performance screening process, leveraging Gaspari-Gyorffy theory to avoid expensive phonon calculations. Combined with stability and metallicity screening, this allows investigation of hundreds thousands candidates from across periodic table, found via crystal structure prediction. From best candidates, full electron-phonon...
