Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics, was awarded the Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecture and Medal, for his groundbreaking work on “twistronics,” a technique that adjusts the electronic properties of graphene by rotating adjacent layers of the material. His breakthrough research in twisted bilayer graphene research discovered unique electrical properties with the potential to create innovative superconducting materials and novel quantum devices for advanced quantum sensing, photonics, and computing applications. The medal, sponsored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Committee for Physics, recognizes the…
