Evidence: Named papers and company notices. Flagship instrument names belong on the Commission page, not a blog paraphrase.

Twist / proximity

• Zhou et al., Nature 613, 268 (2023). Bernal bilayer graphene + WSe₂: SC at zero field, Tc up ~10× vs the fragile ~30 mK window without WSe₂ in that comparison; density window ~8× wider. Only when the field pushes holes toward WSe₂ (Ising SOC story).
• Su, Kuiri, et al., Nat. Mater. 22, 1332 (2023). Twisted double bilayer + WSe₂ superconducts in small pockets at 1.24° and 1.37°. TDBG without the dichalcogenide had been the missing cousin.

Still fridge stacks.

Industry

• AGM operating assets to Universal Matter US$1.3 million. [[topics/finance/raises-2015-2025]]
• 15 Sep — Haydale £5.0 million at 0.5p.
• 21 Dec — FGR SPP A$2.91 million.

Flagship original cycle is widely described as completing; 2D pilot-line / Horizon follow-ons continue. Powders still dominate tonnes; CVD is a different shelf.
