<h2>00:45 A new microscope to look for ‘magic’ angles</h2>To better visualise how electrons are ‘moving’ in materials, a team have developed the Quantum Twisting Microscope. This instrument puts two 2D layers of atoms into close contact, allowing them to interact, which can give useful information about their properties. The microscope can also rotate one of the layers, helping researchers look for so-called ‘magic angles’, where 2D materials like graphene can exhibit extraordinary properties.Research article: <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05685-y?utm_source=naturepod&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=shownotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inbar et al.</a>News & Views: <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00474-7?utm_source=naturepod&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=shownotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A twist in the bid to probe electrons in solids</a><h2></h2><h2>09:55 Research Highlights</h2>How an extinct insect larvae’s prodigiously long ‘neck’ may have helped it hunt, and surveying the levels at which coastal cities are converting water into land.Research Highlight: <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00405-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Extinct insects hunted like predatory giraffes</a>Research Highlight: <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00406-5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cities worldwide claw vast amounts of land from the sea</a><h2></h2><h2>12:21 How Russia’s invasion has affected science in Ukraine</h2>This week marks the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
