Listen "Twistronics Unleashed: The Magic Angle, Graphene, and the Quantum Frontier"
Episode Synopsis
Dive into how a tiny twist of about 1.1 degrees between graphene layers can flip matter from conductor to insulator to superconductor. We trace the rise of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene and its cousin twisted trilayer graphene, the unusual V-shaped superconducting gap that signals unconventional pairing, and the engineering breakthroughs like the Mega 2D platform that let researchers tune the twist in real time. Along the way we explore potential applications from solar cells to quantum computing and plasmonic light control, painting a picture of a field where small angles unlock big possibilities.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
