"2 sheets 2D tungsten disulfide stacked 4.4° angle electrons should show superconductive collective behavior, but did not see this... explained by interactions between atoms, where twisted bilayer partially reverts to a lower-energy, untwisted configuration. ..2 sheets of the bilayer form different regions with varying properties. The study has also enhanced scientists' ability to predict and manipulate the behavior of 2D structures, paving the way for future applications in different types of electronics"
