Twisted Graphene Could Power Future Electronics — ScienceMag

In 2018, scientists at MIT created a superconductor at room temperature by stacking two sheets of single-atom thickness on top of each other, and twisting one slightly — 1.1º to be exact. This new material has already become a tool for capturing and controlling individual electrons and photons, and is now being built into working devices, like parts for quantum computers. Once the technology matures, it could completely transform modern consumer electronics.
