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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Properties of materials are often defined by imperfections in their atomic structure, especially when the material itself is just one atom thick, such as graphene. Researchers have now developed a ...

Golden rules for building atomic blocks Date: August 28, 2023 Source: National University of Singapore Summary: Physicists have developed a technique to precisely control the alignment of ...

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.

Constructing moiré patterns and chirality in 2D materials offers large freedom for manipulating properties but has difficulties in synthesis.

Researchers are creating new moiré materials at the nanometer scale using advanced DNA nanotechnology. DNA moiré ...
