Rhombohedral pentalayer graphene joins a family of materials with exotic properties that may have other “relatives.”

The work introduces a new platform for studying quantum materials.

The work opens new avenues for understanding and manipulating electrons in materials.

New work suggests the ability to create fractionalized electrons known as non-Abelian anyons without a magnetic field, opening new possibilities for basic research and future applications.

Physicists surprised to discover electrons in pentalayer graphene can exhibit fractional charge. New study suggests how this could work.

The work, originating from ultrathin materials, could impact future electronics and establishes a new way to study these particles through a powerful instrument at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Ultrathin material whose properties “already meet or exceed industry standards” enables superfast switching, extreme durability.

The work could lead to ultra-efficient electronics and more.

Chosen from 16 finalist teams, the MIT-led projects will investigate quantum topological materials and sustainable microchip production.

Work by MIT engineers could lead to plethora of new applications, including better detectors for nuclear materials at ports.
