Graphene can hold multiple states of superconductivity, a new study finds
The ordinary graphite in pencil lead is proving to be surprisingly multifaceted at the microscale. In a study published in the journal Nature, MIT researchers report that a certain microscopic structure found in natural graphite can host multiple superconducting states. Superconductivity is an electronic state of matter in which electrons pair up and glide through a material with zero resistance.
Scientists discover new superconducting states in graphene that defy magnetic fields
Graphite, the soft material found inside ordinary pencils, may seem simple, but scientists have discovered that it can behave in remarkable ways when examined at the atomic level. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found that a special form of graphene, which comes from graphite, can exist in several different superconducting states. […] The post Scientists discover new superconducting states in graphene that d…
A MIT team identified four superconducting states in four- and five-layer diamond graphene, and observed that several of them not only survive magnetic fields that would normally destroy that phenomenon, but can even be strengthened under certain conditions. *** The study, published in Nature on June 29, 2026, found four distinct superconducting states in diamond graphene. Three of those states resisted parallel magnetic fields of up to 9 tesla,…
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered several previously unknown superconducting states in graphene, which even survive the disturbance caused by strong magnetic fields. (Continue reading)
