Introduction to Moiré Superconductivity
Moiré superconductivity refers to the emergence of superconducting behavior in materials with Moiré patterns, which arise when two or more layered materials are slightly misaligned or rotated relative to each other. This phenomenon has gained significant interest due to its potential for revealing unconventional superconducting states and its applications in quantum materials science. The most notable examples include twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and other van der Waals heterostructures, where small twist angles induce flat electronic bands, enhancing electron correlations and enabling superconductivity. Key Features of Moiré Superconductivity Roeser-Huber Formula and its Application The Roeser-Huber formula is traditionally used in solid-state physics to describe electron behavior and the interrelation of various quantum mechanical properties. While it has been employed in contexts such as determining energy levels and wavefunction characteristics, its application in Moiré superconductivity could involve the following: Challenges and Opportunities Conclusion Moiré superconductivity is a frontier in condensed matter physics, promising insights into strongly correlated electron systems and quantum materials. The Roeser-Huber formula, with its ability to describe quantum mechanical properties, could serve as a valuable tool in modeling and understanding the intricate behaviors of these systems. Integrating this framework with existing theoretical and experimental approaches could unlock new perspectives on the design and control of superconducting materials.

Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) Registration Rates Ministry: The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) Minister: Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda Launch Date: 23rd September 2018 in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) is a landmark initiative launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 23rd September 2018 in Ranchi, Jharkhand. It’s primary aim is to provide accessible, affordable, and equitable healthcare to all citizens, particularly focusing on the vulnerable sections of society. As the world’s largest government-funded healthcare program, AB-PMJAY aspires to cover over 50 crore beneficiaries, making quality healthcare a reality for millions of Indian families. Below are the key highlights of the scheme: Benefits of the Scheme Key Features of AB-PMJAY State Collaboration and Federal Process Progress and Implementation IT and Fraud Prevention Measures Empanelment and Beneficiary Outreach AB-PMJAY is a paradigm shift, integrating and converging fragmented healthcare services into a unified, comprehensive framework. By addressing healthcare challenges at both the primary and tertiary levels, the scheme embodies the government’s commitment to equitable healthcare access for all.
