= Twistronics
{wiki=Twistronics}
Twistronics is a field of study that focuses on the electronic properties of materials that can be manipulated by twisting layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, relative to each other. The term is a portmanteau of "twist" and "electronics." In twistronics, the rotation of one layer of a material with respect to another can significantly alter the electronic band structure, which in turn affects the material's electrical, optical, and superconducting properties.
