(Phys.org)—A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and Japan has predicted a new type of process whereby electron and hole states on opposite sample edges can carry supercurrent. In their paper, published in the journal Science, the team describes their technique, which involved using encapsulated graphene samples. Nadya Mason with University of Illinois offers a closer look at the work done by the team in a perspective published in the same journal issue.
