Dear Colleague, We are organizing a three-week Summer School on Collective Behaviour in Quantum Matter at ICTP in Trieste (27 August – 14 September 2018), and we would be glad if you could forward this message to potential participants in your group. The online application form is at http://indico.ictp.it/event/8331/ . Deadline for application was 9 April (requesting financial support), or 14 May (otherwise). We will…
Searching for materials with reduced dimension
High-throughput electronic structure calculations, together with structural data-mining algorithms, allow the identification of new two-dimensional materials. Olle Eriksson Two-dimensional materials from high-throughput computational exfoliation of experimentally known compounds Nicolas Mounet et al.,

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.…
