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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering has announced that a joint research team led by Professor Hyobin Yoo from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, in collaboration with ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...

Graphene is now the most well-known 2D material. It is comprised of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice where the thickness has been broken down to a single atom.

Graphene is the most prominent member of the 2D materials family: just a single atom in thickness, it is a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. This novel nanomaterial is ...
