Harvard scientists have developed a new twisted graphene configuration for achieving superconductivity that could help lead to the realization of superconductors at higher temperatures, according to a Feb. 4 paper published in Science. Members of Physics professor Philip Kim’s group have developed a new superconductor — a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance — by stacking three layers of graphene and twisting them. Graphene is a material consisting of a single sheet of carbon atoms. The new trilayer system builds upon the 2018 discovery by MIT Physics professor Pablo ...

The work expands on a 2018 discovery: that an ultrathin layer of carbon called graphene could be stacked and twisted at a “magic angle” to form a double-layered structure that converts into a superconductor. This research field is known as “twistronics”. The Harvard researcher...

Trilayer Graphene Could Decode Secrets of High-Temperature Superconductivity The breakthrough discovered that when an ultrathin carbon layer, known as graphene, is stacked together and twisted to a 'magic angle,' that novel double-layered structure changes into a superconductor, enabling electricity to flow without energy waste or any kind of resistance.

In what seemed to be a literal twist, Harvard University researchers have now taken that superconducting system to a whole new level by ...
