Researchers find water doped graphite flakes exhibit superconductive properties at high temperature

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - 05:30 in Physics & Chemistry

(Phys.org)—Researchers from the University of Leipzig have found that doping very small flakes of graphite with water, then allowing it to dry, results in a material that behaves very much like a superconductor. The team, led by Pablo Esquinazi have written a paper describing their process and results and have had it published in the peer review journal Advanced Materials. If their findings prove sound, the discovery would almost certainly revolutionize the electronics industry.
