(Nanowerk News) When stacking two layers of van der Waals (vdW) materials, a moiré pattern is produced by the modulation of the long wavelength periodic potential. The moiré pattern is a promising ...

A moiré pattern appears when you stack and rotate two copies of an image with regularly repeating shapes, turning simple patterns of squares or triangles into a groovy wave pattern that moves across ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physics is simple. In fact, it never ceases to astonish me how, with a few simple ideas from physics in your suitcase, you can travel from your own backyard to the most exotic realms of the universe, ...

A University of Washington-led team has discovered that, by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle (top), “exotic” properties present at the graphene-graphite interface ...
