Magic Angle Superconductors Depend on Strong Electron Interactions, Say Princeton Researchers

Caption

A team led by Princeton physicist Ali Yazdani has shown that strong electron interactions play a key role in the superconductivity that has been discovered in graphene, a material made up of single-layer sheets of carbon atoms. Here, two graphene sheets stacked on each other with a twist make a long-wavelength moiré pattern.
