Research team finds that the twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide WSe₂ enables the realization of exotic correlated phenomena, including high-Tc superconductivity and correlated insulators, in a controlled manner and without the geometrical restriction found in twisted bilayer graphene. more

Two young researchers from the MPSD’s Theory Department have been chosen for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research Fellowships. Franco Bonafé and Jin Zhang came to the MPSD in 2019. Their proposals competed with nearly 10.000  applications for the prestigious fellowships. more

Researchers reveal that the possibilities created by stacking two sheets of atomically thin material atop each other at a twist are even greater than expected. Their work provides new insights into the question how a correlated system crosses over from two dimensions to one. more

Researchers from the MPSD and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) discover a significant new fundamental kind of quantum electronic oscillations, or plasmons, in atomically thin materials. more

Researchers from Hamburg and Bombay expose 2D monolayer of defective hexagonal boron nitride to an intense light flash to explore how defects influence the motion of electrons in solids during HHG. more
