🔬 Breaking Physics: MIT Discovers a Magnetic Superconductor in Pencil Lead!

 Scientists at MIT have defied a century-old assumption—discovering a "chiral superconductor" that conducts electricity with zero resistance and acts like a magnet—all inside ordinary graphite (yes, pencil lead!).

Key Findings:

✨ Superconductivity + Magnetism: Normally, these properties repel each other—but not in rhombohedral graphene (a unique staircase-like stacking of carbon sheets).
❄️ Ultra-Cold Magic: At -273°C, electrons pair up perfectly, eliminating resistance.
🧲 Magnetic Switching: Unlike normal superconductors, this one flips states when exposed to a magnetic field—like a magnet flipping poles!

"This is bizarre—a superconductor that behaves like a magnet? It challenges everything we knew!" — Long Ju, MIT physicist.

Why It Matters:

  • Could unlock topological superconductors for quantum computing.

  • Proves even simple materials (like graphite!) hide exotic physics.

  • Opens doors for new energy-efficient tech & materials.
