## Description

- description: We demonstrate unprecedented control over the interactions by locally
    modifying the interlayer separation between graphene and hBN, which we achieve
    by applying pressure with a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tip. For the case
    of nearly aligned graphene on hBN, the graphene lattice can stretch and compress
    locally to compensate for the slight lattice mismatch between the two materials.
    We find that modifying the interlayer separation directly tunes the lattice strain
    and induces commensurate stacking. Our results open a path towards tailored electronic
    properties of vdW heterostructures controlled through the interlayer separation
    degree of freedom.
