In this talk, I will discuss how M2-M5 intersections in a twisted M-theory background yield the R-matrices of the quantum toroidal algebra of gl(1). These R-matrices are identified with the Miura operators for the q-deformed W- and Y-algebras. Additionally, I will show how the M2-M5 intersection (or equivalently, the Miura operator) generates the qq-characters of the 5d N=1 gauge theory, offering new insight into the algebraic meaning of the latter.
