Twisted 2-D carbon stacks act as a weird superconductor.

The article discusses the discovery that twisted stacks of graphene, specifically at a "magic angle," exhibit properties of unconventional superconductors, which can conduct electricity without resistance at higher temperatures than traditional superconductors. Researchers from MIT found that a triple layer of twisted graphene demonstrates a superconducting gap characteristic of these materials, indicating a unique behavior of electron pairs, known as Cooper pairs. This research could enhance the understanding of unconventional superconductors and lead to the development of new materials that operate at warmer temperatures, potentially benefiting technologies like quantum computers and powerful magnets. The findings align with previous studies, suggesting a growing consensus in the scientific community regarding the properties of magic-angle graphene. [Extracted from the article]
