Moire Patterns Can Be Used to Analyze Graphene

In a groundbreaking series of experiments, scientists in the United States managed to develop a new method of analyzing how graphene sheets are stacked on top of each other. Scientists with the collaboration say that the technique is also suitable for determining which areas of the compound a... [ read more >> ]
