What’s the mechanism that turns stacked sheets of graphene into a superconductor at low temperatures? Researchers still don’t know, but they’re a step closer to finding out, thanks to a new method for measuring the energy required to break apart the material’s Cooper pairs. #physics
Energy scales of superconducting graphene come into focus
To get a handle on how a superconductor forms its electron pairs, researchers first need to know what it takes to rip them apart.

A quasicrystal engulfs obstacles to grow without defects
The behavior emerges from atomic-scale rearrangements of nonperiodic ordered structures, according to real-time observations and molecular dynamics simulations.
