New Catalogs Explore Quantum Properties of Atomically Thin Materials

Researchers are advancing the field of twistronics by using atomically thin layers stacked at varying angles to create novel electronic behaviors not found in the original materials. This approach with twisted graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides has already led to discoveries such as superconductivity and fractional Chern insulators. The field aims to design entirely new forms of quantum matter, marking a significant frontier in physics.
