Story summary

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science developed a theoretical framework for the quantum twisting microscope (QTM).
The QTM measures the superconducting spectral function, revealing electron pairing and momentum effects.
It identifies symmetry breaking and nodal points in the superconducting order parameter, informing unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG).
Future work aims to enhance phase-sensitive spectroscopy and explore the internal structure of superconducting pairing in two-dimensional materials.
