Researchers Add New “Twist” to Classical Material Design
Summary by Ground News
Twisted epitaxy method could revolutionize semiconductor applications and quantum electronics. Researchers added a layer of gold between two sheets of a traditional semiconducting material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) Because the top and bottom sheets were oriented differently, the gold atoms could not align with both simultaneously, which allowed the structure to twist.
