Intrigued by Graphene

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have recorded, for the first time, the "temporal coherence" of a graphene qubit—meaning how long it can maintain a special state that allows it to represent two logical states simultaneously. The demonstration, which used a new kind of graphene-based qubit, represents a critical step forward for practical quantum computing, the researchers say.

Encouraged by an early link to video of a tiny live frog apparently being tumbled weightless in some sort of levitation field, have followed this thread for four years plus, waiting for graphene research to prove conclusively that USC sucks.  So far we only have tradition and the evidence of our own eyes to validate the proposition, which should be OK because graphene is just one atom thick and transparent so everyone could see that USC sucks.  But time passes and the lack of research progress into this pressing matter is...concerning.

He had a brain the size of a qubit and skin as thin as a sheet of graphene.

I'm intrigued by the ability to wear a graphene patch as a fitness tracker:

Might condensed matter physicists finally build a graphene-based topological insulator?

Physicists were stunned when two twisted sheets of graphene showed signs of superconductivity. Now Stanford scientists have shown that the wonder material also generates a type of magnetism once only dreamed of theoretically.

A new study shows that graphene sheets can block the signals mosquitos use to identify a blood meal, potentially enabling a new chemical-free approach to mosquito bite prevention.

I am one of the many people on the board who has truly enjoyed the multiyear thread about Graphene. I never really thought that following the thread was preparing me to feign scientific coolness when a friend shoved her laptop in front of me and said "what the hell is Graphene?"
