What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
A high-quality, peer-reviewed JACS result that genuinely solves the size/contamination/yield bottleneck of moiré fabrication, but it remains a materials-synthesis advance at the bench with no device-level or fab-line maturity yet.
Next
Track adoption by other groups and any move from cm-scale samples to patterned devices; revisit when the achieved twist-angle precision is quantified (vs the ±0.1° requirement) and a functional device — not just an ARPES signature — is shown.
