My fellow #FourierTransform enthusiasts, here's a new entry in my collection ready for you, nr. 56! The real-space picture is an intersection of two tilings of squares, one tilted by 43°. Moiré pattern? Definitely related 💯

As always, you can find the high-res pair at behance.net/specialdefects

We interrupt our regular programming to announce…

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal-organic frameworks”

Stay tuned for more.
