For decades nuclear physicists have tried to learn more about which elements, or their various isotopes, are "magic." This is not to say that they display supernatural powers. Magic atomic nuclei are ...

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 regions.

The study of graphene was starting to go out of style, but new experiments with sheets of the ultrathin material revealed there was much left to learn. By Kenneth Chang In the universe of office ...

The stunning emergence of a new type of superconductivity with the mere twist of a carbon sheet has left physicists giddy, and its discoverer nearly overwhelmed. Click to tell Google to prioritize ...
