Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Georgia Institute of Technology have demonstrated that atomic scale moire patterns, an interference pattern that appears ...

Researchers use electron ptychography to capture atomic vibrations in twisted 2D materials with record-breaking precision.

Atomic Moire Pattern of Graphene (IMAGE) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Caption. Moiré patterns appear when two or more periodic grids are overlaid slightly askew, ...

But by sandwiching graphene between two layers of boron nitride, which also has a hexagonal pattern, a moiré pattern results. The presence of this pattern is accompanied by dramatic changes in the ...

Japanese researchers have developed a simulation-based technique to measure the bending rigidity of graphene sheets with ...

The twisting of the bilayer graphene and boron nitride resulted in the formation of what's known as a "double-moire" structure, two layers of patterns, also known as a "superlattice." ...

One of the things that makes graphene so special is that it can turn into a superconductor when super-thin sheets of it are stacked on top of each other in a twisted moiré pattern.

Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, yet can be up to six times lighter. By stacking one layer of graphene on top of another, then twisting one layer, a moiré pattern at the atomic scale ...

But by sandwiching graphene between two layers of boron nitride, which also has a hexagonal pattern, a moiré pattern results. The presence of this pattern is accompanied by dramatic changes in the ...

However, after the graphene structure was cooled below a certain temperature, the electrically conductive areas of the structure went inactive, and any potential superconductivity disappeared.
