One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, known as the moiré ...

The newsroom is a complex, high-stakes environment, configured to deliver constantly changing content in an aggressively branded setting. The investment required to garner market share is immense. The ...

Scientists have hypothesized that moir excitons -- electron-hole pairs confined in moir interference fringes which overlap with slightly offset patterns -- may function as qubits in next-generation ...

Researchers have demonstrated that atomic scale moire patterns, an interference pattern that appears when two or more grids are overlaid slightly askew, can be used to measure how sheets of graphene ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...

A concise, comical explanation of Moiré patterns, via XKCD. Moiré patterns are interference patterns created when grids of different size or alignment are placed over each other. You’ve probably seen ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — The perfect crystalline structure of epitaxial graphene rearranges into a moire interference pattern of local band gaps when subjected to a magnetic field, according to researchers.

UK firm Microsharp unveils a non-periodic film which it hopes will eliminate interference effects generated in LCD backlights. Unwanted interference effects generated by the thin-films used in an ...

The research group led by Alexander Högele investigates such novel heterostructures, which do not occur in nature. “The combination of materials, the number of layers, and their relative orientation ...

Quantum technology is quantifiable in qubits, which are the most basic unit of data in quantum computers. The operation of qubits is affected by the quantum coherence time required to maintain a ...
