Rare graphite flakes behave as both a superconductor and a magnet at 300 Kelvin
SMRTR summary
MIT researchers discovered chiral superconductivity in rare graphite, combining superconductivity and magnetism at near-absolute-zero temperatures. This contradicts the long-held belief that these properties are incompatible. The finding could lead to breakthroughs in quantum computing, medical devices, and low-energy electronics, though challenges remain in understanding the phenomenon and making it work at higher temperatures.
