Example sentences

Rhombohedral trilayer graphene, Rhombohedral pentalayer graphene, and Twisted bilayer graphene all demonstrate superconductivity.

Does this make low temperature superconductors like trilayer and pentalayer rhombohedral graphene easier to make?

There are a few methods to make rhombohedral graphene (which demonstrates superconductivity at room temperature).

Here we report the discovery of robust unconventional superconductivity in rhombohedral tetra- and penta-layer graphene without moiré superlattice effects.

But what about rhombohedral trilayer graphene?

> Rhombohedral graphene is an emerging material with a rich correlated-electron phenomenology, including superconductivity.

Quote examples

But - other than recent advances with rhombohedral trilayer graphene and pentalayer graphene (which isn't really "graphene") - superconductivity requires super-chilling which is too expensive and inefficient.
