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 ...

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 ...

Watch for the patterns created as the circles move across each other. Those patterns, created by two sets of lines offset from each other, are called moiré (pronounced mwar-AY) effects. As optical ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
