Twisting again: magic-angle bilayer graphene. Courtesy: Pablo Jarillo-Herrero Two years ago a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US kicked off the field of ...

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) supported the twist-angle-induced flat band structure predictions made a decade earlier. Numerous ...

In spring 2018, the surprising discovery of superconductivity in a new material set the scientific community abuzz. Built by layering one carbon sheet atop another and twisting the top one at a "magic ...

Physicists have observed signs of a rare type of superconductivity in a material called 'magic-angle' twisted trilayer graphene. They report that the material exhibits superconductivity at ...

We first consider monolayer graphene. Its electronic properties derive strictly from geometry: a 2D honeycomb lattice with identical circularly symmetric orbitals on interpenetrating triangular ...

Electrons inhabit a strange and topsy-turvy world. These infinitesimally small particles have never ceased to amaze and mystify despite the more than a century that scientists have studied them. Now, ...

Physicists have found a new way to switch superconductivity on and off in magic-angle graphene. The discovery could lead to ultrafast, energy-efficient superconducting transistors for 'neuromorphic' ...
