Graphene superconductor

Caption

This graphic illustrates three different ways that electrons can pair up and flow through rhombohedral pentalayer graphene without resistance. The three different superconducting states (represented by different colors) surprisingly persist, and can even be boosted in a magnetic field, which normally kills superconductivity.
