Have you guys heard of O-lattice or coincident site lattice? We, metallurgists have used these lattice-concepts to identify different grain boundaries of significance.
Since the appearance of my commentary, one of the experimental results highlighted has been revised. In the first version of their arXiv paper Liu et al reported that superconductivity in Twisted Bilayer Graphene (TBLG) is suppressed in the presence of a proximate conducting Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene. The authors have since shown that this effect is likely due to radio frequency noise. Their improved measurements (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.11072.pdf) filtered out this noise and found that the superconductivity is actually moderately enhanced when the Bernal bilayer graphene is made conducting. This finding lessens the contrast with the other highlighted papers by Stepanov et al and by Saito et al.
