Valleytronics is a portmanteau of ‘valley’ and ‘electronics’ and refers to the use of the valley degree of freedom, present in some materials, for encoding and processing information. Here, Shrestha et al demonstrate a room temperature valley polarization in heterostructures composed of molybdenum disulfide and a chiral lead halide perovskite, an important step in development of valleytronics.
