Graphene’s hidden superconductivity exposed - Materials Today

Researchers have found a way to trigger the innate, but previously hidden, ability of graphene to act as a superconductor – meaning that it can be made to carry an electrical current with zero resistance.The finding, reported in a paper in Nature Communications, further enhances the potential of graphene, which is already widely seen as a material that could revolutionize industries such as healthcare and electronics. Graphene is a two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms that combines several remarkable properties: it is very strong, but also light and flexible, and highly conductive.
