Physicists at MIT, Johns Hopkins University, and Harvard University/University of California, Berkeley have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of graphene research. They have found an explanation for why electrons in pentalayer moiré graphene carry fractional charges even in the absence of a magnetic field. This phenomenon, known as the fractional quantum anomalous Hall…
