Summary

The authors report the observation of superconductivity at up to 153 K in mercury-BCCO (1223) at 150 kilobar, with a main transition at 147 K. This observation provides an indication that superconductivity at higher than 150 K may be possible in this system at ambient pressure, if suitable forms of chemical substitution can be found.
