Quantum material visualization

Caption

Sheets of molybdenum ditelluride crystals, when stacked on top of one another in a specific way, create the complex lattice structure seen above. In a new study, materials scientists at the University of Washington used artificial intelligence to simulate huge stacks of these sheets, producing new quantum phenomena that were not present at smaller scales.
