SUPERFLUID 1

Caption

Rice University theorists determined that certain combinations of weakly bound 2D materials let holes and electrons combine into excitons at the materials' ground state. That combination can lead them to condense into a superfluidlike phase. The discovery shows promise for electronic, spintronic and quantum computing applications.
