A cryogenic microscope that fits on a laboratory bench has now let scientists watch electrons shake graphene’s atoms in real time, revealing something called “phasons.”
The work ties those shivers to the zero-resistance current and odd “strange metal” signals that appear when two graphene sheets are rotated by about 1.1° or what’s referred to as the “magic angle.”
Dr. John Birkbeck of the Weizmann Institute of Science is to be credited for leading the new experiments.
