Research on a tungsten disulfide material (1T’-WS₂) reveals a superconducting state that is able to carry an incredibly large amount of current within its superconducting layers - exceeding all other known two-dimensional superconductors.

We discovered strong evidence for a brand-new kind of “electron-like” particle in an electrical insulator: it behaves like an electron in motion but carries no charge, meaning it can transport energy/information without ordinary electrical current — a potential pathway to radically lower-power electronics.

By stacking thin crystal sheets with a slight twist, scientists created a "moiré" metal whose electrons behave as if they live in an effectively higher-dimensional landscape. Using the MagLab's powerful DC magnets, the team mapped this hidden electronic structure for the first time — a step toward designing new quantum materials with custom-tuned properties.
