The discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer and trilayer graphene 1-5 has generated tremendous interest. The key feature of these systems is an interplay between interlayer coupling and a moiré superlattice that gives rise to low-energy flat bands with strong correlations 6 . Flat bands can also be induced by moiré patterns in lattice-mismatched and/or twisted heterostructures of other two-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) 7,8 . Although a wide range of correlated phenomena have indeed been observed in moiré TMDs 9-19 , robust demonstration of superconductivity has remained absent 9 . Here we report superconductivity in 5.0° twisted bilayer WSe 2 with a maximum critical temperature of 426 mK. The superconducting state appears in a limited region of displacement field and density that is adjacent to a metallic state with a Fermi surface reconstruction believed to arise from AFM order 20 . A sharp boundary is observed between the superconducting and magnetic phases at low temperature, reminiscent of spin fluctuation-mediated superconductivity 21 . Our results establish that moiré flat-band superconductivity extends beyond graphene structures. Material properties that are absent in graphene but intrinsic among TMDs, such as a native band gap, large spin-orbit coupling, spin-valley locking and magnetism, offer the possibility of accessing a broader superconducting parameter space than graphene-only structures., Competing Interests: Competing interests: The authors declare no competing interests., (© 2025.
