The red wine dependence of superconductivity in FeTe0.8S0.2 was investigated. Samples with a higher shielding volume fraction had a tendency to show a higher concentration of tartaric acid in red wine. We found the tartaric acid is one of the key factors to induce superconductivity in FeTe0.8S0.2.

Superconductivity is successfully induced by utilizing a battery-like reaction found in a typical Li-ion battery. Excess Fe in FeTe0.8S0.2 is electrochemically de-intercalated by applying a voltage in a citric acid solution. The superconducting prope
rties improve with an increase in the applied voltage up to 1.5 V. This result suggests that an electrochemical reaction can be used as a novel method to develop new superconducting materials.
To elucidate the mechanism as to why alcoholic beverages can induce superconductivity in Fe_{1+d}Te_{1-x}S_x samples, we performed component analysis and found that weak acid such as organic acid has the ability to induce superconductivity. Inductive
ly-coupled plasma spectroscopy was performed on weak acid solutions post annealing. We found that the mechanism of inducement of superconductivity in Fe_{1+d}Te_{1-x}S_x is the deintercalation of excess Fe from the interlayer sites.
We found that hot alcoholic beverages were effective in inducing superconductivity in FeTe$_{0.8}$S0$_{.2}$. Heating FeTe$_{0.8}$S0$_{.2}$ compound in various alcoholic beverages enhances the superconducting properties compared to pure water-ethanol
mixture as a control. Heating with red wine for 24 hours leads to the largest shielding volume fraction of 62.4% and the highest zero resistivity temperature of 7.8 K. Some components present in alcoholic beverages, other than water and ethanol, have the ability to induce superconductivity in FeTe$_{0.8}$S0$_{.2}$ compound.
Graphene holds promises for exploring exotic superconductivity with Dirac-like fermions. Making graphene a superconductor at large scales is however a long-lasting challenge. A possible solution relies on epitaxially-grown graphene, using a supercond
ucting substrate. Such substrates are scarce, and usually destroy the Dirac character of the electronic band structure. Using electron diffraction (reflection high-energy, and low-energy), scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, we introduce a strategy to induce superconductivity in epitaxial graphene $via$ a remote proximity effect, from the rhenium substrate through an intercalated gold layer. Weak graphene-Au interaction, contrasting with the strong undesired graphene-Re interaction, is demonstrated by a reduced graphene corrugation, an increased distance between graphene and the underlying metal, a linear electronic dispersion and a characteristic vibrational signature, both latter features revealing also a slight $p$ doping of graphene. We also reveal that the main shortcoming of the intercalation approach to proximity superconductivity is the creation of a high density of point defects in graphene (10$^{14}$~cm$^{-2}$). Finally, we demonstrate remote proximity superconductivity in graphene/Au/Re(0001), at low temperature.
Following the discovery of superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional K$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$ containing [(Cr$_3$As$_3$)$^{2-}$]$_{infty}$ chains [J. K. Bao et al., arXiv: 1412.0067 (2014)], we succeeded in synthesizing an analogous compound, Rb$_2$Cr$_3$A
s$_3$, which also crystallizes in a hexagonal lattice. The replacement of K by Rb results in an expansion of $a$ axis by 3%, indicating a weaker interchain coupling in Rb$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$. Bulk superconductivity emerges at 4.8 K, above which the normal-state resistivity shows a linear temperature dependence up to 35 K. The estimated upper critical field at zero temperature exceeds the Pauli paramagnetic limit by a factor of two. Furthermore, the electronic specific-heat coefficient extrapolated to zero temperature in the mixed state increases with $sqrt{H}$, suggesting existence of nodes in the superconducting energy gap. Hence Rb$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$ manifests itself as another example of unconventional superconductor in the Cr$_3$As$_3$-chain based system.
