Moiré patterns occur everywhere. They are created by layering two similar but not identical geometric designs. A common example is the pattern that sometimes emerges when viewing a chain-link fence ...

Researchers have identified unusual magnetism in twisted, two-dimensional chromium triiodide, revealing long-range spin ...

Two or more graphene layers that are stacked with a small twist angle in relation to each other form a so-called moiré ...

A moiré is an interference pattern that appears when two different periodic structures are overlaid. The image created is extremely sensitive to small variations in the original layers and is thus ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully imaged the dynamic assembly of bilayer covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in solution, providing new insights into controlled ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Graphene, one of the most exciting two-dimensional (2D) materials, has shown extraordinary optical properties due to strong surface plasmon polaritons supported by the graphene ...

Material behaviors depend on many things including not just the composition of the material but also the arrangement of its molecular parts. For the first time, researchers have found a way to coax ...
