Abstract

The structure of materials is ever-changing, hiding the mysteries of the materials world. The article starts with the common Moiré patterns in daily life, introduces the concept of Moiré superlattices and the rich physical information they contain. The development of twistronics based on two-dimensional Moiré superlattices have achieved a wonderful fusion of materials science, physics, and topology.
