The magic angle

Who will win the Nobel Prize in Physics this year? All predictions

The Nobel Prizes are announced at the beginning of October every year, and about a month before that rumors, predictions and speculations are spread about the identity of the candidates and the chances of winning. In recent years, using innovative data analysis tools, forecasting experts
Tracking the exact locations of the edge states allowed scientists to construct spatial maps of the local twist angles with unprecedented resolution and accuracy. These maps reveal a complex landscape pattern of valleys, peaks and saddle points

"The electrical properties of the material depend to a large extent on the exact twist angle. In other words, areas with different twist angles should be treated as different materials connected to each other, says Prof. Eli Zeldov
