"in addition to hexagonal lattices twisted around K-points of electronic momentum symmetric under 120-degree rotations, an entirely new twisting paradigm based on M-point significantly expands moiré landscape... materials systematically classified based on electronic band minimum position controlling resulting twisted layers' quantum properties... SnSe2 and ZrS2 were chosen: bands at M-point symmetrical, rendering them sometimes 1D... high-temperature superconductors, electron doping without degradation"
