A Physics Magic Trick

12/15/2019

This article from The New York Times discusses recent research that suggests graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon, could exhibit superconductivity. Superconductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electric current without resistance, and if graphene can achieve this property, it could have profound implications for various fields, including electronics and energy transmission. The article explains the challenges scientists have faced in trying to create a graphene superconductor and highlights new experimental findings that bring closer the possibility of graphene-based superconductivity. It also highlights the potential applications and benefits of using graphene as a superconductor, such as faster and more efficient electronic devices.
