Plexus, a Neenah, Wisconsin-based company, employs dozens of Huskies in functions starting from mechanical to biomedical to electrical engineering. Plexus has many proud Tech alumni, who routinely return to their alma mater to participate in guest lectures, in addition to recruit more Huskies during Michigan Tech’s profession fairs. Kin Chung Fong, a Harvard University physicist and member of Raytheon BBN Technologies’s quantum computing group, is keen about another potential use for the material. In April, he and his colleagues proposed a twisted graphene device that might detect a single photon of far infrared gentle. That might be helpful for astronomers probing the faint gentle of the early universe; their current sensors can spot lone photons only within the seen or nearly seen elements of the spectrum. In magic angle graphene, in distinction, all the atoms are carbon, eliminating messy boundaries between totally different materials. And scientists can change the electronic habits of any given patch at the press of a button.
