Secrets of superconductivity in graphene

Pablo Jarillo-Herrero (MIT) presents his surprising discovery of an ultrathin material consisting of two misaligned sheets of graphene that can be easily converted from being a Mott insulator to a superconductor at the APS March Meeting 2018 in Los Angeles, CA. Novel electronic states seen in graphene A simple system made from two sheets of graphene has been converted from an insulator to a superconductor.…

Symposium — Frustrated and disordered magnetism

Dear Colleagues, Dear Fellow Scientists, The Joint European Magnetic Symposia (JEMS) is the premiere and most comprehensive conference on magnetism in Europe. The next symposia will take place from the 3rd to the 7th of September 2018 at the conference center Rheingoldhalle in Mainz, Germany. JEMS covers a wide breadth of cutting-edge topics in magnetism and magnetic materials research, ranging from the fundamental to the…
