Moiré Quantum Matter

Caption

Illustration depicts two bilayers (two double layers) of graphene that the NIST team employed in their experiments to investigate some of the exotic properties of moiré quantum material .  Inset at left provides a top-level view of a portion of the two bilayers, showing the moiré pattern that forms when one bilayer is twisted at a small angle relative to the other.
