Study improves the understanding of superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene

In recent years, physicists and material scientists have uncovered several new platforms for studying correlated phases of matter, such as superconductivity and the correlated insulator phase. Among them is magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene, a superconductor discovered by a research team at Massachusetts institute of Technology. This material consists of three sheets of graphene stacked together, with a rotational misalignment of approximately 1.5 degrees.
