Moiré materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, are materials generally formed by stacking two or more layers of 2D materials on top of each other with a small lattice mismatch. This slight mismatch creates a… Read More »Quasiperiodicity changes the ground-state properties of 1D narrow-band moiré systems, study demonstrates
Traditionally, kidney health has been monitored by measuring blood creatinine levels, which indicate muscle breakdown. High creatinine levels can suggest that the kidneys are not filtering waste efficiently. However, creatinine levels can be affected by… Read More »Team develops non-invasive biosensor for early kidney disease detection
