Experiments in twisted, layered quantum materials offer new picture of how electrons behave - EurekAlert

A new study published in the journal Nature is challenging our picture of how electrons behave in metallic materials. Researchers observed electrons in a two-dimensional material behaving as if they were in a single dimension. This new behavior, which occurre…
