Scientists twist ultrathin layers to fine-tune superconductivity for quantum tech

Scientists have discovered a new way to control superconductivity by twisting layers of atomically thin materials. By adjusting the angle between layers of niobium diselenide and graphene, they can selectively influence electrons with specific energies, altering the superconducting gap. This method produces unexpected flower-like patterns in the superconducting properties. The research advances understanding of superconducting systems and could lead to more energy-efficient technologies and improved quantum computing in the future.
