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 ...

A new species of exciton with novel characteristics has been discovered in moiré crystal superlattice. Scientists have developed a pristine unit-cell matrix projection method that reduces ...

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 ...

Watch for the patterns created as the circles move across each other. Those patterns, created by two sets of lines offset from each other, are called moiré (pronounced mwar-AY) effects. As optical ...

The unusual stacking imparts various angle-dependent properties to tBLG. 2 Moiré patterns are generated by graphene-graphene interactions resulting from the relative layer orientations. These highly ...

Moiré illusions can be visually captivating, particularly when a little rotational motion is thrown in the mix. [Dushyant Ahuja] was a fan of these moving Moiré sculptures he’d seen around the place, ...

From dressing the royals to dressing your home's walls, this elegant material is making a return in fashion and interiors alike. Courtesy of The Met If you’re interested in a simple yet elegant ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered why our eyes are drawn to patterns? We see patterns in art and music, and also in our daily lives. Patterns can provide a sense of order and can make a ...

(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 ...
