Interlayer twist angle between vertically stacked 2D material layers can trigger exciting fundamental physics. Here, the authors report precise control of interlayer twist angle of stacked centimeter scale multilayer MoS2 homostructures that enables continuous change in their indirect bandgap, Moiré phonons and electrical properties.
