Given some of the comments here I think it's important to note that the thermal properties of Vanadium are well known and the metal has been used for years in high-speed steel and alloys, such as Chrome Moly Vanadium, where heat is the enemy. This discovery in regard to conductivity could be game changing, but it's not really a surprise.
