Graphene Found to Hold Multiple Superconductive States
MIT researchers have discovered that rhombohedral graphene, a specific structure of graphite, can host multiple superconducting states. These states are unique because they can persist and even strengthen when exposed to magnetic fields, which typically disrupt superconductivity.
