MIT scientists have discovered that graphite, the material found in pencil lead, can become a magnetic superconductor when its layers are stacked in a specific way and cooled to extremely low temperatures, challenging the traditional understanding that superconductors and magnets cannot coexist. This new material, called a chiral superconductor, could have significant implications for the future of quantum computers.
