The material itself is not superconducting at that temperature, it needs to get down to 2K for that. From the article: Time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRS-breaking) is a hallmark of unusual electronic and magnetic behavior that can lead to exotic quantum phases: phenomena that could potentially be very useful for quantum technologies. So, finding this at a more &quot;manageable&quot; temperature is exciting. Pre-print of the article is here[1].
