Just as wave-like patterns can appear on a computer screen when pixels do not align, new research led by Flinders University ...

Optics meets 2D materials: a simple probe light beam exiting an optical moiré lattice can be chopped up into diffuse streaks or confined into a single bright spot, depending on the twist angle in the ...

Atomic moire ferroelectrics reveal unusual polarization effects, offering new routes to low energy nanoelectronics, photonics ...

(Nanowerk News) If you hold one wire mesh on top of another one and look through it, you'll see a larger pattern called a moiré pattern formed by the overlapping grids of the two meshes, which depends ...

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 ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Figure 2: Dependence of the moiré pattern on the inter-grating spacing in the set-up shown in Fig. 1. The alternative text for ...

What brought people out in those conditions? The session had the not-obviously-exciting title "2D Materials Twistronics: Correlations and Moiré Physics," but the topic was a hot one. It dealt with the ...

Have you ever noticed when moving furniture that heavy objects are easier to move if you rotate them at the same time as you push? Many people intuitively do this right. An international research team ...
