Twisted physics: Magic angle graphene produces switchable patterns of superconductivity
Last year, scientists demonstrated that twisted bilayer graphene—a material made of two atom-thin sheets of carbon with a slight twist—can exhibit alternating superconducting and insulating...
What makes the Earth’s surface move?
Do tectonic plates move because of motion in the Earth's mantle, or is the mantle driven by the movement of the plates? Or could...
