In the realm of quantum physics, where the laws of nature transform at the atomic and subatomic scales, lies the fascinating phenomenon of superconductivity. Superconductors, materials that exhibit zero electrical resistance below a critical temperature, have revolutionized numerous fields, from medical imaging to energy transmission. Emergent superconductivity, a peculiar manifestation of this property, arises in low-dimensional materials, where charge carriers are confined to move in one or two dimensions.
