Abstract in brief

The study discusses the discovery of unconventional superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), where two sheets of graphene are stacked and slightly rotated, creating "magic angles" (about 11 degrees) that lead to flat electronic bands and correlated insulating states.
By doping the material, researchers observed tunable zero-resistance states with a critical temperature of up to 17 Kelvin, revealing superconductivity that cannot be explained by traditional weak electron-phonon interactions, similar to phenomena seen in high-temperature cuprate superconductors.
TBG offers a highly controllable, pure carbon-based platform for studying strongly correlated electron behaviors and superconductivity, making it a promising material for advancing understanding of unconventional superconductors.]
