Illustration of a moiré pattern that emerges upon stacking and rotating two sheets of bilayer graphene. Correlated electronic states with magnetic ordering emerge in twisted double bilayer graphene ...

They don’t call graphene a “wonder material” for nothing – it’s ultra-thin, ultra-strong, and has some weird electrical properties. MIT researchers previously found a particularly strange pattern ...

Two or more graphene layers that are stacked with a small twist angle in relation to each other form a so-called moiré ...

Spin-orbit coupling in graphene layers gives rise to surprising physics, including ferromagnetism. (Courtesy: Li Lab / Brown University) Magnetism and superconductivity are usually at opposite ends of ...

(Nanowerk News) Superconducting materials are similar to the carpool lane in a congested interstate. Like commuters who ride together, electrons that pair up can bypass the regular traffic, moving ...

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 ...

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' ...

Graphene just keeps getting weirder. Engineers at ETH Zurich have now managed to tweak the overachieving material so that some parts of a flake can be an electrical insulator while other areas act as ...

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 ...

A new theoretical model may help explain the shocking onset of superconductivity in stacked, twisted carbon sheets. The blockbuster discovery last year of superconductivity in a material called ...

Researchers have made a discovery that could provide new insights into how superconductors might move energy more efficiently to power homes, industries and vehicles. Their work showed that graphene - ...
