Condensed matter physics is the most active field of contemporary physics and has yielded some of the biggest breakthroughs of the past century. But as rapidly as technology has advanced, scientists have only scratched the surface. Now for the first time, Jie Shan and Fai Mak, a married couple of physicists at Cornell University, have figured out a way to create artificial atoms in the lab, opening the door to a new era in research.

Theory and Computation for 2D Materials "Electron-electron interactions in graphene systems with narrow bands: dependence on layer arrangement and coupling to the substrate" Francisco Guinea, IMDEA Abstract: Narrow electronic bands arise in different arrangements of graphene layers. The effect of the long range electron-electron interactions is analyzed and compared for small angle twisted bilayers, bilayers and trilayers in a commensurate arrangement with the BN substrate, and twisted pairs of graphene bilayers. It is shown that changes in the electron density alter in different ways the electronic structure. A classification is made into systems where the shape and width of the electronic bands is highly sensible to the amount of doping, and those where the flat bands shift rigidly with the number of carriers.

Follow up to our previous video on van der Waals heterostructures, 2D Materials Beyond Graphene. When ultrathin two-dimensional materials are stacked together to build designer nanomaterials, they can be twisted relative to one another, such that the atoms in each layer line up differently. This twisting, which is not possible in most present-day thin film nanotechnology, can lead to enormous changes of the material properties. The great potential on offer has given rise to a new field of scientific research termed "twistronics", which seeks to discover new functionality by taking two-dimensional materials and adding a twist. Written and directed by Tom Lyons in collaboration with Alexander Tartakovskii's research group. Produced by Gareth Jones, 23i.co.uk

Among the most fascinating states of matter are those where individual constituents (for example, electrons) interact strongly with each other. However, the understanding of strongly-interacting quantum matter has challenged physicists for decades. The discovery five years ago of superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene has led to the emergence of a new materials platform to investigate strongly interacting physics, namely moiré quantum matter. These systems exhibit a plethora of quantum phases, such as correlated insulators, superconductivity, magnetism, ferroelectricity, and more. In this talk, Jarillo-Herrero will review some of the recent advances in the field, focusing on the newest generation of moiré quantum systems, where correlated physics, superconductivity, and other fascinating phases can be studied with unprecedented tunability. He will end the talk with an outlook of some exciting directions in this emerging field. Pablo Jarillo-Herrero is currently the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at MIT. He received his “Licenciatura” in physics from the University of Valencia, Spain, in 1999, and his PhD in physics from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands in 2005. After his postdoc at Columbia University, he joined MIT as an assistant professor of physics in January 2008 and received tenure in 2015. He was promoted to Full Professor of Physics in 2018. Prof. Jarillo-Herrero is the recipient of the APS 2020 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize, the 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics, the 2020 Medal of the Spanish Royal Physics Society, the 2021 Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecture and Medal, the 2021 Max Planck Humboldt Research Award, and the 2021 US National Academy of Sciences Award for Scientific Discovery. He was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences in 2022.
