โThe Magic of Graphene Moirรฉ Patternsโ
This artwork visualizes the unique phenomenon that occurs in the electronic energy structure of graphene when the rotational angle between two graphene layers reaches precisely 1.05 degrees.
As the hexagonal lattices of each layer are slightly misaligned, a new large-scale moirรฉ pattern emerges at regular intervals.
The piece highlights this layered interactionโwhere the subtle twist creates a surprising and complex visual and physical effectโsymbolizing the โmagic angleโ that unlocks novel quantum behaviors in graphene.
