Abstract
The moir\'e superlattices formed by stacking 2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with twisting angle or lattice mismatch have provided a versatile platform with unprecedented tunability for exploring many frontier topics in condensed matter physics, including optical, topological and correlation phenomena. This field of study advances rapidly and a plethora of exciting experimental and theoretical progresses have been achieved recently. This review aims to provide an overview of the fundamental properties of TMDs moir\'e superlattices, as well as highlight some of the major breakthroughs in this captivating field.
