Exciting electronic characteristics emerge when scientists stack 2D materials on top of each other and give the top layer a ...

In 2018, a discovery in materials science sent shock waves throughout the community. A team showed that stacking two layers of graphene—a honeycomb-like layer of carbon extracted from graphite—at a ...

Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating entirely new phases of matter through simple geometric manipulation. The term ...

Graphene, also known as the wonder material, continues to surprise scientists. This time, it has revealed new quantum states. A team of researchers has found peculiar topological electronic crystals ...

In new research published in Nature, Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena—the cryogenic Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM). Using this pioneering ...

Forced to run a labyrinth of carbon atoms uniquely arranged in twisted stacks, electrons do some rather peculiar things. The findings confirm predictions on how electrons ought to behave when squeezed ...

Researchers have developed a 'quantum ruler' to measure and explore the strange properties of multilayered sheets of graphene, a form of carbon. The work may also lead to a new, miniaturized standard ...

Map of resistivity as a function of the charge carrier density (x axis) and current density (y axis) in bilayer graphene. Superconductivity occurs in the dark blue region in the bottom graph and is ...

(Nanowerk News) Professor Youngwook Kim of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST), in collaboration with Professor Gilyoung Cho of the ...

MIT researchers observed clear signatures of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG). The image illustrates pairs of superconducting electrons (yellow spheres ...

In some M-point moiré materials, electrons lock into crisscrossing patterns — a sign of one-dimensional behavior. In certain cases, they can also freeze into orthonormal valence bond dimers, revealing ...
