| Abstract | Nontechnical description: This research project will develop a new way to study unusual behaviors in advanced materials, called moiré materials, made from stacking ultra-thin layers. These moiré materials can create unique "quantum phases," which may lead to future breakthroughs like energy-efficient electronics or powerful quantum computers. However, scientists have not had the right tools to closely examine these tiny layered devices. The research team plans to solve this problem by developing |
