Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena — the cryogenic Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM). Using this pioneering instrument, researchers have observed — for the first time — the interactions between electrons and an exotic atomic vibration in twisted sheets of graphene, called a "phason." These findings shed new light on the mysterious superconductivity and “strange metallicity” that emerge when graphene sheets are rotated to the “magic angle.”
