What if a tiny twist could change the rules of physics?

This episode explores magic-angle graphene—a breakthrough in condensed matter physics where rotating two graphene layers by just 1.1° unlocks superconductivity, flat electronic bands, and strongly correlated quantum states.

We break down how geometry, not chemistry, drives this phenomenon, why scientists call it a “quantum sandbox,” and how it launched the field of twistronics. From zero-resistance current to emergent collective behavior, magic-angle graphene shows how small changes can produce radical outcomes.
