ScienceThe exotic quantum states of twisted 2D nanomaterials
Chemistry World describes how twisting pairs of 2D nanomaterial layers into moiré superlattices gives rise to unusual states, from superconductivity to fractional charge.
TLDR
Graphene continues to surprise decades after its discovery, Chemistry World says. Its feature explores how twisting pairs of 2D nanomaterial layers into moiré superlattices can produce exotic quantum states, including superconductivity and fractional charge. Chemists are joining physicists to explore these structures.
