And here I was thinking this thread got bumped because of the Nature article this week on graphene possibly being a high-temperature superconductor (except "high-temperature" in this case means about 2 degrees above absolute zero):

Wow.

That's a very hot take on a subject very close to my professional life. The underlying papers aren't even officially published yet - just posted in "pre-publication".

Looks at least promising, though promising more in a "this is going to help us understand things" sort of way rather than "this thing will be great technology" way.
The characterization of the insulating version (which really matters for understanding what is going on fundamentally) is far from solid so far, but there will be lots of follow up work.
