MIT physicists observe key evidence of unconventional
MIT physicists observed key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene. The findings could lead to the development of higher-temperature superconductors.
MIT physicists find unexpected crystals of electrons in an ultrathin
MIT physicists report the discovery of electrons forming crystalline structures in a material billionths of a meter thick. The material, rhombohedral pentalayer graphene, joins a family of
New lightweight polymer film can prevent corrosion
The polymer film, which the researchers describe today in Nature, is made using a process that can be scaled up to large quantities and applied to surfaces much more easily than
Physicists discover important new property for graphene
A new property Graphene is composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons resembling a honeycomb structure. Since the material''s discovery, scientists have shown
Electrons become fractions of themselves in graphene, study finds
MIT physicists have observed fractional quantum Hall effect in simple pentalayer graphene. The finding could make it easier to develop more robust quantum computers.
How can electrons split into fractions of themselves?
MIT physicists have taken a key step toward solving the puzzle of what leads electrons to split into fractions of themselves. Their solution sheds light on the conditions that give rise to exotic
Physicists discover a “family” of robust, superconducting graphene
MIT physicsts identified new multilayered configurations of graphene that can be twisted and stacked to elicit robust superconductivity at low temperatures. The study establishes these
MIT physicists discover a new type of superconductor that''s also a
MIT scientists were surprised to discover a “chiral superconductor” — a material that conducts electricity without resistance, and also, paradoxically, is magnetic — in rhombohedral
Physicists measure a key aspect of superconductivity in “magic-angle
Physicists measured how readily a current of electron pairs flows through “magic-angle” graphene, a major step toward understanding how this unusual material superconducts.
Insulator or superconductor? Physicists find graphene is both
Physicists at MIT and Harvard University have found that graphene, a lacy, honeycomb-like sheet of carbon atoms, can behave at two electrical extremes: as an insulator, in which electrons
