Twisted bilayer graphene exhibits isolated, relatively flat electronic bands near charge neutrality when the interlayer rotation is tuned to specific magic angles. These small misalignments, typically below 1.1{\deg}, result in long-period…

Graphene [1] and its bilayer have generated tremendous excitement in the physics community due to their unique electronic properties [2]. The intrinsic physics of these materials, however, is partially masked by disorder, which can arise…
Flexible canopy flows are often encountered in natural scenarios, e.g., when crops sway in the wind or when submerged kelp forests are agitated by marine currents. Here, we provide a detailed characterisation of the turbulent flow developed…
Continuum atomic relaxation models for twisted bilayer graphene involve minimization of the sum of intralayer elastic energy and interlayer adhesion energy. The elastic energy favors a rigid twist i.e. no distortion in the twisted honeycomb…
