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 ...

Twistronics is a field of study that emerged from the intersection of nanotechnology and materials science. It involves manipulating the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials ...

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 ...

Toppan Printing, a global leader in communication, packaging, décor materials, and electronics solutions, has developed the world’s first system enabling a moiré pattern to be generated for any image.

When two mesh screens or fabrics are overlapped with a slight offset, moiré patterns emerge as a result of interference caused by the misalignment of the grids. While these patterns are commonly ...

A contact lens with microscopic line patterns tracks eye position with high precision using only a smartphone camera, ...

If you’ve ever seen artifacts on a digital picture of a computer monitor, or noticed an unsettling shifting pattern on a TV displaying someone’s clothes which have stripes, you’ve seen what’s called a ...

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 ...

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 ...
