| Abstract | NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY Imagine materials that look like tiny, patterned quilts at the atomic scale; these are called moiré materials. Their unique structure creates energy conditions (called flat bands) where electrons move slowly and thus interact strongly with one another. In turn, these interactions can lead to surprising phenomena, from new forms of superconductivity to unexpected optical effects with potential for fundamental technological advancements. This project looks beyond the flat-band |
