MIT Professor Receives Kavli Prize for 'Twistronics' Research

Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, an MIT physics professor, has been named a co-recipient of the 2026 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience. He shares the award for his pioneering work in "twistronics," a field he helped establish alongside Eva Y. Andrei and Allan MacDonald. This research explores superconductivity and other emergent phenomena in specially engineered quantum materials.
