Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly ...

When light waves reflect off these mirrors, the difference in path length leads to interference patterns that depend on the layer’s thickness and the wavelength of the light. To visualize this ...

"The resulting pattern is a series of parallel stripes," says Yijin Zhang, one of the corresponding authors of the study. "Typical interference patterns look like two-dimensional arrays of bright ...

Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, discover brand new one-dimensional diffraction patterns in two-dimensional nanomaterials, with exciting implications ...
