Seems like a common superglue accelerant (n heptane) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite could superconduct at room temperature.
Not sure how this works but the circulating current is pretty convincing if small. 6mA is a hell of a lot for a material that works at >273K and could have all sorts of applications such as CPUs and power storage cells.
EDIT: Purchased some superglue accelerant, (Loctite Plastic), made a small jig with silver paint under cyano as the contacts to the graphite, but no sign of a resistance drop. Possibly the change is too small to detect unless it is HOPG not regular pyro?
