In 2019 it was reported that ordinary graphite exhibits second sound at 120 K. This feature was both predicted theoretically and observed experimentally, and was by far the highest temperature at which second sound has been observed. However, this second sound is observed only at the microscale, because the wave dies out exponentially with characteristic length 1-10 microns. Therefore, presumably graphite in the right temperature regime has extraordinarily high thermal conductivity but only for the purpose of transferring heat pulses distances of order 10 microns, and for pulses of duration on the order of 10 nanoseconds. For more "normal" heat-transfer, graphite's observed thermal conductivity is less than that of, e.g., copper. The theoretical models, however, predict longer absorption lengths would be seen in isotopically pure graphite, and perhaps over a wider temperature range, e.g. even at room temperature. (As of March 2019, that experiment has not yet been tried.)
