Last week, during the #2DSPM, we also had the chance to show many colleagues around our new labs in the new DIPC building.

It was great to share the new experimental capabilities we are setting up, including our mK-STM/STS systems and nanofabrication facilities.

Our recent collaboration with @LabYazdani shows that STM can visualize anyons trapped around an impurity, opening the door to a better control and understanding of these fascinating topological particles. https://t.co/7ns64a5qP3 @LeverhulmeTrust

Very happy to see the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience recognizing twistronics!

Congratulations to Allan MacDonald, Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and Eva Andrei!!

As an experimentalist, I am glad to see Pablo and Eva recognized, being Eva a leading figure in STM:

Prof Yazdani and researchers have visualized a quantum fractal pattern known as Hofstadter's butterfly! This groundbreaking discovery opens new doors to understanding electron interactions in quantum materials. Read more here: https://t.co/5ldzCYEkRq

[Princeton University @Princeton]

A team of scientists from Princeton has measured the energies of electrons in a new class of quantum materials and has found them to follow a fractal pattern.

Fractals are self-repeating patterns that occur on different length scales and can be seen in nature in a variety of settings, including snowflakes, ferns, and coastlines.

A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as “Hofstadter’s butterfly,” has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real material.

This research paves the way toward understanding how interactions among electrons, which were left out of the theory originally proposed in 1976, give rise to new features in these quantum fractals.
