CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, July 1 (TNSjou) -- Harvard University issued the following news:

Light and heavy electrons cooperate in magic-angle superconductors
Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel - i.e., mobile - they can enable electrical conduction. When they are bound, or "heavy," they can act as insulators. However, in certain solid materials, this behavior can be markedly different, . . .
