Superconductivity switch: This figure shows a device with two graphene layers (dark grey and inset) sandwiched between boron nitride layers (blue and purple). The angle and alignment of each layer enables the researchers to turn superconductivity on and off with a short electric pulse.

Superconductivity can be switched on and off in “magic-angle” graphene using a short electrical
