miassite
Sign in to saveAlso known as IMA1997-029
Miassite is a mineral made of rhodium and sulfur, with the stoichometric formula . It was named after the Miass River in the Urals. It is a superconductor and an unconventional superconductor. Naturally occurring miassite is too brittle, so it is made in a lab for superconductor research.

Miassite is a mineral made of rhodium and sulfur, with the stoichometric formula . It was named after the Miass River in the Urals. It is a superconductor and an unconventional superconductor. Naturally occurring miassite is too brittle, so it is made in a lab for superconductor research.
Its ability to be an unconventional superconductor was discovered at Ames National Laboratory in 2024.
