Topological materials discovery has evolved at a rapid pace over the past 15 years following
the identification of the first nonmagnetic topological insulators (TIs), topological crystalline …

The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

A quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator is a novel two-dimensional quantum state of matter that
features quantized Hall conductance in the absence of a magnetic field, resulting from …

We present the first experimental evidence of a topological phase transition in a
monoelemental quantum spin Hall insulator. Particularly, we show that low-buckled epitaxial …

Kagome materials often host exotic quantum phases, including spin liquids, Chern gap,
charge density wave, and superconductivity. Existing scanning microscopy studies of the …

Topology,–and interactions are foundational concepts in the modern understanding of
quantum matter. Their nexus yields three important research directions:(1) the competition …

Room-temperature realization of macroscopic quantum phases is one of the major pursuits
in fundamental physics,. The quantum spin Hall phase,,–is a topological quantum phase that …

The search for topological phases of matter is evolving towards strongly interacting systems,
including magnets and superconductors, where exotic effects emerge from the quantum …

Our sense of time is far from constant. For instance, time flies when we are having fun, and it
slows to a trickle when we are bored. Midbrain dopamine neurons have been implicated in …

Heat transport has various applications in solid materials. In particular, the thermoelectric
technology provides an alternative approach to traditional methods for waste heat recovery …
