We apply a multiscale modeling approach to study lattice reconstruction in marginally twisted bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). For this, we develop density functional theory parametrized interpolation formulae for interlayer adhesion energies of MoSe2, WSe2, MoS2, and WS2, combine...

The identification of superconductivity and strong interactions in twisted bilayer 2D materials prompted many questions about the interplay of these phenomena. This Perspective presents the status of the field and the urgent issues for future study.Nature Materials, Published online: 18 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41563-020-0688-6
Understanding the competition between thermodynamics and kinetics is crucial for the rational synthesis of inorganic materials. The synthesis of two-layer sodium metal oxides is investigated by in situ synchrotron XRD and a model is developed to rationalize why the observed phase progression proceeds through non-equilibrium three-layered intermediates.Nature Materials, Published online: 18 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41563-020-0690-z
First-principles calculations predicted electronic topological properties for 2D honeycomb–kagome polymers, which have been now confirmed experimentally thanks to improvements in on-surface synthesis.Nature, Published online: 15 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41586-020-2303-z

Interlayer exciton dynamics in a van der Waals heterostructure is found to be modulated by the twist angle between the atomically thin layers, elucidating the effect of moiré potentials on exciton motion and providing guidelines to design quantum photonics devices based on 2D materials.Nature, Published online: 06 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41586-020-2255-3
SQUID-on-tip tomographic imaging of Landau levels in magic-angle graphene provides nanoscale maps of local twist-angle disorder and shows that its properties are fundamentally different from common types of disorder.
