AI Summary

Researchers report that twisting two atom‑thin layers by about two degrees creates a nanoscale moiré pattern that can confine light energy at room temperature. The misaligned, overlapping grids form a periodic structure that traps photons, similar to the visual rippling seen when camera and screen pixel grids interfere. This effect is demonstrated experimentally and described in a paper published in Physics, DOI 10.1038/s41567-026-03425‑x.
