To recycle some musings from a similar article a few months ago:
> Layperson question] Looking at that moire pattern shown in the 1.1-degree rotated sheets, I find myself wondering about quantum-tunneling. No good reason, just the visual appearance of relative "voids" when the sheets are in-sync.
> Is there any known (or theorized) relationship between superconductors and tunneling? Does the "pattern repeat distance" of those 1.1-degree-twisted sheets come close to some important threshold that relates to electron-tunneling?
