i think the odds are about 2:1 against openai accomplishing anything noteworthy in the area of superconductivity over the next two weeks just by throwing money at it
2:1 are pretty favorable odds, though, and it's a good post

Superconductivity in 5.0° twisted bilayer WSe2 - Nature
We report superconductivity, in a limited region of displacement field and density, in 5.0° twisted bilayer WSe2 with a maximum critical temperature of 426 mK, establishing that moiré flat-band superconductivity extends beyond graphene structures.

Researchers have identified conditions under which superconductivity in 2D systems can arise from the electrons’ own mutual electrostatic repulsion. Their theory predicts multiple superconducting states, some of which have exotic properties.
A New Path to Superconductivity
Theorists propose that repulsive interactions between electrons in a two-dimensional lattice can lead to an exotic form of superconductivity.

Cuprate materials exposed to intense pulses of light appear to superconduct fleetingly above their critical temperatures. New research does not confirm the superconductivity but it does relate the light-induced state to another phenomenon: charge-density waves.
Making Waves in the Debate over Light-Induced Superconductivity
New experiments with cuprate materials explore a connection between so-called charge-density waves and a light-induced state that resembles superconductivity.
