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 ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a two-dimensional (2D) quantum material platform through the superposition of moiré lattices. The research is published in Nature under the title ...

Moiré materials are a class of 2D nanomaterials that exhibit unique properties arising from the periodic interference patterns formed when two or more atomically thin layers are stacked with a slight ...

Physicists have developed a technique to precisely control the alignment of supermoiré lattices by using a set of golden rules, paving the way for the advancement of next generation moiré quantum ...

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 ...
