(Courtesy: Fangwei Ye) When two periodic 2D patterns are stacked onto each other with a slight twist, a third larger pattern called a moiré lattice emerges. The study of moiré patterns in layered ...

Researchers identify hierarchical moire patterns in 2D materials, enabling a tunable platform for designing next-generation quantum materials at the atomic scale.

Using X-ray pulses to illuminate nanoparticles, researchers decode diffraction patterns to construct detailed three-dimensional images. (Illustration: ETH Zürich / Daniela Rupp) In a 2D-XRD experiment ...
