The 'magic angle' of graphene earns Pablo Jarillo and Allan MacDonald the Frontiers of Knowledge Award
Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and Allan H. MacDonald have been awarded the Frontiers of Knowledge Award for their discovery that a slight angle of 1.1 degrees can alter the properties of graphene, merging theory and experimentation.
Frontier Prize for discoverers of the 'magic angle' that generates supermaterials
Spanish physicist Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and Canadian Allan MacDonald have been awarded the Frontier Prize in Basic Sciences for their work in the new field of twistronics, with a prize of 400,000 euros.
