Has some high powered algebraist or topologist tried figuring out what is happening here mathematically? what structure is generated by all possible rotations that we are sampling here? multiplied by the many layers, what about nonuniform sheets? i’m imagining channels of various shapes on the inside… such a simple concept, yet such fascinating machinery for the measurements. i feel proud when i get a logic analyzer trace off an fpga pin!

The article actually says it at some point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern https://everettyou.github.io/2018/05/21/Moire.html https://everettyou.github.io/2018/05/21/Moire.html I imagine there's no ELI5 explanation of a flat band from condensed matter physics.
- yababa_y 4y agoThat’s just the original discovery, I’m hoping someone would come in and look for more mathematical structure like the current efforts for topological insulators.
