DESCRIPTION

Researchers can now grow twistronic material at sizes large enough to be useful. While an exciting potential area of nanotechnology, twistronics until now has mostly been explored on samples smaller than human hairs. Now a collaboration led by a group in Finland can produce samples on the centimetre scale. The results are published in Nature Communications.
