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 ...

Researchers with the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have ...

Researchers use metal-organic frameworks to fine-tune moire patterns, paving the way for advances in superconductivity, photonics, and quantum technologies. Until now, controlling the exact scale of ...

Constructing moiré patterns and chirality in 2D materials offers large freedom for manipulating properties but has difficulties in synthesis. In this Focus we highlight the progress on the growth and ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – 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 ...

As the need for higher-resolution orbital imagery expands, glass mirrors are fast approaching the point where they will be too large, heavy and costly for even the largest of today’s rockets to carry ...
