**Hong Kong, [Date of Publication]** – Researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have successfully created a two-dimensional (2D) quasicrystal using a novel technique involving a 30-degree twist of bilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). This breakthrough, detailed in a recent press release, leverages the atomic-level manipulation of the bilayer to generate an electric vortex field, ultimately leading to the formation of the quasicrystal structure.
The research team’s work focuses on the unique properties of twisted bilayer MoS2, demonstrating that precise manipulation of the layers can result in the creation of entirely new materials with unusual characteristics. The resulting 2D quasicrystal presents exciting possibilities for future applications in advanced materials science and electronics. Further research will be necessary to fully explore the potential of this discovery.
