01.04.2020 Room Temperature Superconductivity 'Breakthrough' due to COVID-19 outbreak

A long-standing problem of observing Room Temperature Superconductivity is finally solved by a novel approach. Instead of increasing the critical temperature Tc of a superconductor, the temperature of the room was decreased to an appropriate Tc value. We consider this approach more promising for obtaining a large number of materials possessing Room Temperature Superconductivity in the near future.

"Dimensional reduction in graphite

The quantum Hall effect is thought to exist only in two-dimensional materials. Here, transport measurements show that thin graphite slabs have a 2.5-dimensional version, with a parity effect for samples with odd and even number of layers."

29.03.2019 "Our work that was marked as Editor's Pick in APL is now online! Here we show that graphene-based electronic devices can perform in temperatures comparable to that of the Venus atmosphere (∼460°C). Shall we see graphene in space? How about that, @elonmusk?
