You’re vastly underestimating what the significance of what this is part of. High Tc superconductivity was thought to be essentially dead. Extremely few significant new results for decades. Now this and magic angle twisted graphene and some other stuff. It’s really really cool. It’s like we’re watching an entire field thawing and lurching forward.
- galangalalgol 7y agoIs the graphene thing dead? One paper indicated graphene or even graphite soaked in a hydrocarbon would superconduct at room temperature. I was so excited I purhased some and tried that, it had a DC impedance similar to dry graphite...
- TeMPOraL 7y agoDid you buy graphene or graphite? If the former, maybe what you got wasn't actually graphene? Apperently, the progress in this field is held back by most suppliers selling something they claim that's graphene but really isn't (or is of garbage quality) - https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2018/10/11/graphene-you-dont-get-what-you-pay-for https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2018/10/11/gr....
