Who would have thought the Moiré interference pattern could have a large physical effect? The hexagons generated from the twist shown at the top image form clearly visible long paths.
- Terr_ 8y agoTo recycle some musings from a similar article a few months ago: > Layperson question] Looking at that moire pattern shown in the 1.1-degree rotated sheets, I find myself wondering about quantum-tunneling. No good reason, just the visual appearance of relative "voids" when the sheets are in-sync. > Is there any known (or theorized) relationship between superconductors and tunneling? Does the "pattern repeat distance" of those 1.1-degree-twisted sheets come close to some important threshold that relates to electron-tunneling? https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/82avjf/comment/dv993ms https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/82avjf/comment/dv9...
