Mysteries of ‘magic’ angle graphene superconductors
In spring 2018, the surprising discovery of superconductivity in a new material set the scientific community abuzz. Built by layering one carbon sheet atop...
A new approach to liquid-repelling surfaces
“Omniphobic” might sound like a way to describe someone who is afraid of everything, but it actually refers to a special type of surface...
First detailed measurements of key factors related to high-temperature superconductivity
In superconducting materials, electrons pair up and condense into a quantum state that carries electrical current with no loss. This usually happens at very...
A transistor that performs as both topological insulator and superconductor
MIT researchers have demonstrated that a tungsten ditelluride-based transistor combines two different electronic states of matter.
A transistor based on the 2-D material tungsten ditelluride...
