MIT physicists and colleagues have created a five-lane superhighway for electrons that could allow ultra-efficient electronics and more. The work, reported in the May 9 issue of Science, is one of several important discoveries by the same team over the last year involving a material that is essentially a unique form of pencil lead.

Physicists have discovered a five-lane superhighway for electrons in a material called rhombohedral pentalayer graphene, which could lead to ultra-efficient electronics. The superhighway allows electrons to move without any energy loss, unlike in regular materials where electrons are scattered. This discovery has direct implications for low-power electronic devices and could pave the way for advancements in electron transport.
