A team led by researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, has discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moiré patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one-dimensional bands by adjusting the twist angle between layers, and they can drastically alter the physical properties of the material.
