Superconducting Twisted Bilayer Graphene—Magic not Needed?

# Superconducting Twisted Bilayer Graphene—Magic not Needed?

July 16, 2020

A new study shows that superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene can exist away from the magic angle when coupled to a two-dimensional semiconductor. "Our observations were quite unexpected. It implies that we only scratched the surface of graphene twistronics. These are exciting times for the field," says [Stevan Nadj-Perge](http://eas.caltech.edu/people/stevannp), Assistant Professor of Applied Physics and Materials Science.
