This graphic illustrates three different ways that electrons can pair up and flow through rhombohedral pentalayer graphene without resistance. The three different superconducting states (represented by different colors) surprisingly persist, and can even be boosted in a magnetic field, which normally kills superconductivity.

Graphene Study Published in Nature

Research on graphene, supported in part by the MIT Portugal Program, has resulted in the publication of new findings in Nature. The work, led by Long Ju, explores unusual superconducting behavior in graphene. Read more on MIT News.
