TL;DR Summary

Terra Quantum-led researchers have observed room-temperature superconductivity in graphite for the first time, using scotch tape to cleave pyrolytic graphite into thin sheets. This discovery could lead to transformative advancements in superconducting technology, with potential applications in power grids, healthcare, transportation, electronics, and quantum computing. The mechanism leading to superconductivity involves the formation of structures that allow superconducting currents to flow along the wrinkles in the graphite, mediated by effective topological gauge fields and Bose condensation.
