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 ...

The discovery of the material graphene, which consists of only one layer of carbon atoms, was the starting signal for a global race: Today, so-called "2D materials" are produced, made of different ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

“We’re blowing the dust off moire,” says Raffaele Fabrizio, creative director of Dedar, while showing off the Italian fabric house’s latest collection, which expands the maker’s Amoir Libre in rich ...

Innovative, ultra-thin nanomaterials display extraordinary qualities. Fascinating physical events can happen, for instance, when individual crystal layers that are atomically thin are stacked ...

French organic PV specialist Armor, and a Dutch designer specialized in integrating PV in furniture, windows and other objects, have provided the module technology for the Netherlands’ pavilion at ...

Stacked layers of ultrathin semiconductor materials feature phenomena that can be exploited for novel applications. Physicists have studied effects that emerge by giving two layers a slight twist.

2D materials like graphene have revolutionized materials science. Now a new interesting option has been added to this field of research: Two thin material layers can be stacked and twisted by a ...
