Kekulé Pairing Offers a New Explanation for Superconductivity in Twisted Graphene

Researchers developed a microscopic theory in which intra-valley, finite-momentum pair-density waves generate the Kekulé patterns observed in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. The model links spin-triplet pairing, electronic nematicity, and Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces to key experimental signatures of unconventional superconductivity.
