Optics meets 2D materials: a simple probe light beam exiting an optical moiré lattice can be chopped up into diffuse streaks or confined into a single bright spot, depending on the twist angle in the ...

One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, known as the moiré ...

If you hold one wire mesh on top of another one and look through it, you'll see a larger pattern called a moiré pattern formed by the overlapping grids of the two meshes, which depends on their ...

Material behaviors depend on many things including not just the composition of the material but also the arrangement of its molecular parts. For the first time, researchers have found a way to coax ...

Researchers identify hierarchical moire patterns in 2D materials, enabling a tunable platform for designing next-generation quantum materials at the atomic scale. (Nanowerk News) Seoul National ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered why our eyes are drawn to patterns? We see patterns in art and music, and also in our daily lives. Patterns can provide a sense of order and can make a ...

What brought people out in those conditions? The session had the not-obviously-exciting title "2D Materials Twistronics: Correlations and Moiré Physics," but the topic was a hot one. It dealt with the ...

A new species of exciton with novel characteristics has been discovered in moiré crystal superlattice. Scientists have developed a pristine unit-cell matrix projection method that reduces ...
