Physicists are studying graphene, a one-atom-thick carbon material, to understand its ability to superconduct without resistance or energy loss, potentially paving the way for room-temperature superconductors. Two experiments conducted by teams at Northeastern University and Harvard University shed light on the behavior of multilayer graphene at very low temperatures. The discovery of quantum geometry and similarities to other superconductors at higher temperatures suggest promising implications for energy-efficient devices. The innovative experiments push the boundaries of traditional superconductivity theories and open the door for further research into two-dimensional superconductors with potential applications in space missions.
