MIT PHYSICISTS OBSERVE KEY EVIDENCE OF UNCONVENTIONAL SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN MAGIC-ANGLE GRAPHENE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

'Unconventional' superconductors are materials that exhibit superconductivity in ways that are different from today's superconductors, which require ultra-low temperatures to operate. MIT physicists have created a material that shows a superconducting gap very different from that of the typical superconductor, meaning that the mechanism by which the material becomes superconductive must also be different. Understanding how unconventional superconductors work could unlock the design of superconductors that work at room temperature, the Holy Grail of the entire field.
