In a new study, scientists from Singapore and Spain have presented a new avenue for exploring exotic physics in graphene. They focus on electronic interactions in graphene when it is sandwiched in a ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

(Nanowerk News) When two similar atomic layers with mismatching lattice constants -- the constant distance between a layer's unit cells -- and/or orientation are stacked together, the resulting ...

Physicists develop new systems to trap individual excitons, - bound pairs of electrons and their associated positive charges. Credit: Xiaodong Xu For the first announcement of “magic-angle” bilayer ...

New twist: a smeared out signal can transform into a soliton, depending on the laser powers and the twist angle of the optical moiré lattice. (Courtesy: Fangwei Ye) Moiré lattices — wherever they form ...

In van der Waals layered structures, when two adjacent layers have small lattice mismatch and nearly aligned crystalline directions, the interlayer atomic registry will vary periodically on a length ...

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 ...
