The twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) is a liquid crystal phase in which the director follows a nanoscale heliconical structure, predicted in 1973 and first observed experimentally in 2011.
Twist-spun carbon nanotube artificial muscle
A twist-spun carbon nanotube artificial muscle is a yarn made by twisting carbon nanotube sheets so heating or charging makes it rotate and contract, first reported in Science in 2011.
TWIST1
TWIST1 (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1, HGNC:12428) is a human chromosome 7p21.1 gene encoding a bHLH transcription factor essential for mesoderm and craniofacial development; mutations cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, and overexpression drives cancer EMT and metastasis.

Twisted (TV series)
Twisted (2013–2014) is an ABC Family teen mystery drama created by Adam Milch, starring Avan Jogia as Danny Desai, a teen murder suspect; cancelled after one season.
Twisted amide activation
Twisted amide activation is a synthetic strategy that distorts the amide C–N bond from planarity, weakening its resonance so the bond can be cleaved by cross-coupling or nucleophilic substitution.
Twisted amides
Twisted amides are amides whose C(O)–N bond is deliberately distorted from planar geometry, disrupting amide resonance and making the bond reactive toward cleavage, substitution, and cross-coupling.
Twisted and coiled polymer actuator
A twisted and coiled polymer actuator is an artificial muscle made by twisting nylon or polyethylene fiber into a coil that contracts when heated, used in soft robotics and prosthetics.
Twisted bilayer boron nitride
Twisted bilayer boron nitride is a van der Waals bilayer of hexagonal boron nitride whose two layers are rotated, forming a moiré superlattice with tunable electronic structure.
Twisted bilayer CrI3
Twisted bilayer CrI3 is a van der Waals heterostructure of two chromium triiodide layers stacked at a controlled rotation angle, producing moiré magnetism first demonstrated experimentally in 2021.
