A van der Waals heterostructure composed of graphitized SiC(0001) and the semiconductor SnSe${}_{2}$ shows conventional BCS-type superconductivity that is firmly corroborated by the presence of quantized vortices under an external magnetic field. Interface engineering has revealed that the observed superconductivity originates from a two-dimensional electron gas confined to the very …
