New quasiparticle discovered in moiré patterns
A new species of exciton with novel characteristics has been discovered in moiré crystal superlattice. Scientists have developed a pristine unit-cell matrix projection method that reduces computationally a million-fold without loss of accuracy. Supercomputer simulations helped in predicting the new exciton, which was later validated by experiment. The research can be used in the development of new optical sensors and communication technology. …read more
