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.…
