The Arxiv version of the article describing the experimental set up, with nice graphs. (It is mainly non-technical) https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1901/1901.09160.pdf
There will probably be a lot of applications, check this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_sound in a couple of months.
What's next? Graphene containment buildings ('the wall') for fusion reactors?
