## TL;DR

This paper discusses how recent discoveries in twisted bilayer graphene challenge traditional theories of superconductivity and suggest new mechanisms to potentially achieve room-temperature superconductivity.

## Contribution

It introduces a new perspective on superconductivity in moiré systems with flat bands, emphasizing the role of recent experimental findings in TBG.

## Key findings

- Reconsideration of traditional Fermi surface-based theories
- Potential pathways to increase superconducting critical temperature
- Implications of moiré flat bands for high-temperature superconductivity

## Abstract

Recent experimental discoveries of superconductivity and other exotic electronic states in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) call for a reconsideration of our traditional theories of these states, usually based on the assumption of the presence of a Fermi surface. Here we show how such developments may even help us finding mechanisms of increasing the critical temperature of superconductivity towards the room temperature.
