Graphene Caught Holding Multiple Superconducting States At One Time

MIT researchers have discovered that rhombohedral graphene can host multiple superconducting states simultaneously. These states remain stable or even strengthen when exposed to magnetic fields that typically disrupt superconductivity.
Why it matters
This discovery challenges existing theories about superconductivity and could pave the way for more resilient, high-performance electronic materials.
Add ScienceAlert on Google (Aleksandr Semenov/Getty Images) Superconductivity , the ability for materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance, is a valuable scientific treasure.
