This article discusses groundbreaking discoveries in superconductivity, focusing on three novel superconducting materials. These materials are two-dimensional, consisting of atom-thin sheets like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which can be stacked and twisted to exhibit extraordinary properties. The discoveries challenge and expand traditional theories of superconductivity, revealing multiple mechanisms through which electrons can pair, including those unrelated to the established phonon-based model. Techniques like twisting atomic layers at precise angles have created superconductors that defy conventional understanding, such as those exhibiting chiral or magnetically enhanced superconductivity. These findings highlight the versatility of 2D materials as tunable systems to explore a wide range of electronic behaviors, offering insights into engineering materials for revolutionary applications like lossless power grids and advanced quantum devices. However, theorists are still grappling with the exact mechanisms, signaling an exciting and rapidly evolving field.
