In his famous 1959 lecture “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” physicist Richard Feynman explored the vast, untapped potential of manipulating matter at the nanoscale. Fast forward to today, and researchers are turning their gaze upward — not downward — to explore a new frontier in electronics.

A recent groundbreaking study led by ICFO researchers, in collaboration with several international research groups including memebrs of the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center, has uncovered previously unseen behaviors in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene using terahertz light. As part of this international effort, the research sheds new light on the quantum geometry of this enigmatic material, revealing how the electronic wavefunctions of electrons are shaped by their environment.
