A magnetic twist for graphene
Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP)
A slight twist between two layers of graphene generates a wealth of strongly interacting states. New theory work shows that sandwiching this assembly between ferromagnets forces the “valley” degree of freedom to dominate the physics, enriching the prospects of such twisted bilayer systems even further.
New microscopy concept enters into force
Laboratory for Solid State Physics (LFKP)
The first demonstration of an approach that inverts the standard paradigm of scanning probe microscopy raises the prospect of force sensing at the fundamental limit.
