Superconductivity in a 5' twisted bilayer WSe2
🧬 Guo, Y., Pack, J., Swann, J. et al. Superconductivity in 5.0° twisted bilayer WSe2. Nature 637, 839–845 (2025)
📢 Twisted bilayer graphene is a paradigmatic platform in the regime of the strongly correlated system, and "twisted" here refers to the slight rotation between the layers of graphene(~1.1') , known as the magic angle, which creates a unique electronic structure with 'flat bands'. The flat band suppresses the kinetic energy rela...
