Kavli Prize laureates share nanoscience breakthroughs at NTNU

Kavli Prize winners Eva Y. Andrei, Allan H. MacDonald and Pablo Jarillo-Herrero headlined the Kavli Prize Nanoscience Symposium at Campus Gløshaugen in Trondheim. Their lectures traced the discoveries behind twistronics, from early graphene experiments to the theory and observations of “magic-angle” materials. 

See the symposium programme.

The three researchers received this year’s prize for establishing the field of twistronics. By rotating atomically thin layers relative to one another, researchers can change how electrons behave, creating new ways to investigate quantum phenomena such as superconductivity.

The afternoon programme featured Professor Per Delsing from Chalmers University of Technology and several professors and researchers from NTNU, with topics ranging from superconducting circuits and integrated photonics to materials for future electronics. Jens-Petter Andreassen, Dean and Chairman of NTNU NanoLab, welcomed participants to the afternoon session.
