"spirally stacked tungsten disulfide crystals causes light to manipulate electrons analogous to Coriolis force, particularly when shining circularly polarized light causing electrons to deflect in different directions based on material’s internal twist, enhancing optics... as though magnetic field were present even when none...  material’s response to light amplified...  moiré length scale on par with light wavelength, coupling increases control... quantum materials with adjustable properties... photonics, sensors"
