There's a new candidate for a room temperature superconductor, and it isn't some exotic compound, it's graphite, just ground up and baked. A team in Russia says they have found one of the key signatures of superconductivity that survives well above room temperature. The good news is that anyone can try to reproduce this. Let's take a look.
