Graphene can hold multiple states of superconductivity, a new study finds

MIT researchers have discovered that rhombohedral pentalayer graphene can host multiple superconducting states that persist even in magnetic fields. This finding challenges the conventional understanding that magnetic fields typically destroy superconductivity.
Why it matters
This discovery could lead to the development of more robust superconducting materials, which are essential for advanced electronics and energy technologies.
