COSMIC RAYS. “Charged particles are affected by solar generated magnetic turbulence and solar wind disturbances, which significantly “modulates” the shape of their energy spectrum.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

GRAPHENE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY. “Why does rotated graphene exhibit this behavior? (Hint: It has something to do with moiré patterns.)” https://lnkd.in/enBM2vJn View in LinkedIn

COMMON LAW. “The physics mechanisms regulating the antiparticle background are the same as those producing the other secondary components.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

ANTICIPATED. “That interesting things would happen at around this magic angle had been mathematically predicted by the theorists Rafi Bistritzer and Allan H. MacDonald, both then at the University of Texas, Austin.” https://lnkd.in/enBM2vJn View in LinkedIn

MAGIC ANGLE. “Freedman highlights a stunning discovery made by the experimental physicist Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and his colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: When a layer of graphene, a sheet of carbon crystal with atoms arranged in a hexagonal one-atom-thick lattice, is dropped on another one and rotated to just the correct angle of about 1.1 degrees, the graphene magically acquires the ability to become superconductive when the requisite number of electrons are added.” https://lnkd.in/enBM2vJn View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM MOIRÉ. “Recently, moiré effects have also entered the quantum realm in a big way, as David H. Freedman reported in his Quanta article “With a Simple Twist, a ‘Magic’ Material Is Now the Big Thing in Physics.” https://lnkd.in/enBM2vJn View in LinkedIn

MOIRÉ OPTICS. “When two very similar grids with light and dark elements overlap, new sinuous patterns emerge that seem to shimmer and flow.” https://lnkd.in/enBM2vJn View in LinkedIn

MOIRÉ PRIMER. “When Magic Is Seen in Twisted Graphene, That’s a Moiré.” https://lnkd.in/enBM2vJn View in LinkedIn

CORE OF ELECTRONICS. “From a materials perspective, the basis of electronics relies on the discovery of semiconducting materials that are insulating most of the time, and their electrical conductivity can be controlled by the supply of external excitation.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

PERFECTION IS NULL. “In short, for new materials such as graphene, it is important that researchers understand, explore, and use the accessible materials on hand rather than pursuing scalable materials with perfection.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn
