Quantum Effects Make Electrons Superconduct while Standing Still

Caption

Map of resistivity as a function of the charge carrier density (x axis) and current density (y axis) in bilayer graphene. Superconductivity occurs in the dark blue region in the bottom graph and is turned off by a magnetic field (upper graph).
