Twisting the relative orientation of the sheets in few-layer van der Waals materials can cause drastic changes in the electronic bandstructure. Here, the authors predict that twisted bilayer GeSe realises an effective one-dimensional flat-band electronic system with exotic, strongly correlated behaviour.
