👉 Twist engineering is an innovative approach in materials science and engineering that involves intentionally introducing controlled structural or compositional twists at the nanoscale to enhance material properties. By manipulating these twists, scientists can tailor the mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical characteristics of materials to meet specific performance requirements. This technique allows for the creation of materials with unprecedented functionalities, such as increased strength, flexibility, or conductivity, by leveraging the unique properties that arise from these twists. For example, twisted nanowires can exhibit enhanced strength and resilience compared to their non-twisted counterparts, making them ideal for advanced applications in electronics and structural engineering.
