Moiré superlattices, structures that arise when two layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials are overlaid with a small twist angle, have been the focus of numerous physics studies. This is because they have recently been found to host novel fascinating unobserved physical phenomena and exotic phases of matter.
Researchers at California State University Northridge, Stockholm University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently predicted the emergence of a new quantum anomalous state of matter in fractionally filled moiré superlattice bands.
