Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at MIT, delivered the 2022 Mildred S. Dresselhaus lecture on magic-angle graphene and the rise of moiré quantum matter.

All superconductors known today that are used in research and industry are superconducting only below 150 degrees Kelvin (around minus 120 degrees Celsius). Materials that have this property at hi ...

Less than 20 years ago, Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim first created two-dimensional crystals consisting of just one layer of carbon atoms. Known as graphene, this material has had quite a ca ...

Superconductors that can conduct electricity with zero resistance enabling an electric current to persist indefinitely, are used in various applications, including MRI scanners and high-speed maglev trains; however superconductivity typically requires extremely low temperatures, limiting their widespread use.

Why do some materials carry electrical currents without any resistance only when cooled to near absolute zero while others do so at comparatively high temperatures? This key question continues to ...

Element superconductors are important either for superconducting mechanism studies or for potential applications because of the single composition. However element superconductor (SC) usually show ...

Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international resea ...

Less than two years after shocking the science world with the discovery of a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity, a team of UNLV physicists has upped the ante once again by repr ...

Electrons find each other repulsive. Nothing personal – it’s just that their negative charges repel each other. So getting them to pair up and travel together, like they do in superconducting mate ...

Researchers have for the first time experimentally discovered that a cubic boron arsenide crystal offers high carrier mobility for both electrons and holes – the two ways in which a charge is carr ...
