Moiré patterns appear when two or more periodic grids are overlaid slightly askew, which creates a new larger periodic pattern. Researchers from NIST and Georgia Tech imaged and interpreted the moiré ...

Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures ...

The sampling Moiré method is a non-contact optical technique that has gained prominence for its ability to precisely measure strain and deformation in various materials and structures. This method ...

A team of scientists from Princeton University has measured the energies of electrons in a new class of quantum materials and has found them to follow a fractal pattern. Fractals are self-repeating ...

Scientists have visualized the two parts of an elusive particle -- the moiré exciton -- to reveal its structure and unique properties. Published in leading journal Nature, scientists from the Okinawa ...

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 ...
