Enhancing Graphene Bilayer’s Superconductivity Caltech 2dmaterials
Feb 23 2023Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. Almost ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of a new class of ultrathin materials that could compete with the exceptional optical and electrical characteristics of graphene, a type of carbon discovered in 2004 that fascinates both scientists and engineers.
To comprehend the significance of this development, it is beneficial to grasp what graphene is and why it is unique.

Stevan Nadj-Perge, assistant professor of applied physics and materials science, and his team found that the untwisted graphene’s superconductivity is considerably enhanced by the addition of tungsten diselenide in this new study, which was published on January 11th, 2023, in the journal Nature. Significantly, a factor of ten is added to the superconducting critical temperature or the highest temperature at which the material can superconduct.
