It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...
Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating entirely new phases of matter through simple geometric manipulation. The term ...
Forced to run a labyrinth of carbon atoms uniquely arranged in twisted stacks, electrons do some rather peculiar things. The findings confirm predictions on how electrons ought to behave when squeezed ...
Researchers have developed a 'quantum ruler' to measure and explore the strange properties of multilayered sheets of graphene, a form of carbon. The work may also lead to a new, miniaturized standard ...
(Nanowerk News) A single-atom-thick sheet of carbon known as graphene has remarkable properties on its own, but things can get even more interesting when you stack up multiple sheets. When two or more ...
MIT researchers observed clear signatures of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG). The image illustrates pairs of superconducting electrons (yellow spheres ...
In some M-point moiré materials, electrons lock into crisscrossing patterns — a sign of one-dimensional behavior. In certain cases, they can also freeze into orthonormal valence bond dimers, revealing ...
