We report on the erosion of flat linoleum "pebbles" under steady rotation in a slurry of abrasive grit. To quantify shape as a function of time, we develop a general method in which the pebble is photographed from multiple angles with…
We present a tight-binding calculation of a twisted bilayer graphene at magic angle $\theta\sim 1.08^\circ$, allowing for full, in- and out-of-plane, relaxation of the atomic positions. The resulting band structure displays as usual four…
