Physicists name and codify new field in nanotechnology: 'electron quantum metamaterials'

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

When two atomically thin two-dimensional layers are stacked on top of each other and one layer is made to rotate against the second layer, they begin to produce patterns—the familiar moiré patterns—that neither layer can generate on its own and th...
