Happy to share that I've been awarded an #ERCCoG grant for the mKoiré project - 5yr & 2.8M€ to unveil the microscopic mechanisms driving superconductivity in moiré quantum matter 🔬

Grateful to @ERC_Research for the continuous support to our 2DSPM lab @DIPCehu & @CFMdonostia!

UAsS: we uncover a spontaneous spatial separation of quantum phases within a single material. A topological FM metallic bulk coexists with an emergent strongly correlated Kondo state at the surface, by ARPES and @m_ugeda STM. @USherbrooke @DIPCehu

Sometimes the surface has a life of its own!

In UAsS, STM/STS reveals an emergent strongly correlated Kondo state at the surface, coexisting with a very different FM bulk.
Great collaboration with @Gvanyim and colleagues.

What a nice collaboration!

Using STM/STS, we reveal robust edge states in NiS₂ and connect its conducting surface to an obstructed topological phase emerging from a newly identified magnetic ground state.

Congratulations to @Gvamvim and the whole team.

Check it out!!

[Maia G. Vergniory @Gvamvim]

Our latest work reveals that NiS₂ hosts robust edge states that explain its mysterious conducting surface. We uncover a new magnetic ground state and identify obstructed topology as the origin of these states. @USherbrooke @IQ_USherbrooke @DIPCehu

Great experience at #ChinaSPM2026 & #AMQS in Urumqi, presenting our recent work on obstructed atomic bands in TMDs.

Especially valuable to exchange ideas with colleagues from the Chinese STM and quantum materials community.

Thanks to the organizers for the warm hospitality!

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.

Last week we celebrated the fourth edition of our beloved #2DSPM conference in Donostia-San Sebastián!

Many thanks to all speakers, participants, sponsors, and everyone who helped make this edition so special.
We are already looking forward to the next one in 2028!

This week, from June 22–26, Miramar Palace hosts the IV International Conference on Novel 2D Materials Explored Via Scanning Probe Microscopy & Spectroscopy (2DSPM2026).

Now in its fourth edition, 2DSPM has become a well-established biennial meeting bringing together leading researchers in 2D materials and scanning probe microscopy.

Not just one but two opening lectures at #2dspm26...

[Miguel M. Ugeda @m_ugeda]

Happy to announce the opening lecture of #2DSPM2026!

Thanks to the fantastic response to this year's call, we have increased capacity to 180 participants. A few spots are still available for non-contributing attendees.

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:

🚨Check out our new paper!!

[Nature Physics @NaturePhysics]

Atomic insulators come in two varieties: so-called unobstructed and obstructed types. The former are common and now scanning tunnelling microscopy experiments provide evidence for the latter.

Definitely an unusual venue… talking about a pretty unusual topic (for me!) — but having a great time!

It’s been a pleasure to attend and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics at the Iberian-German WE-Heraeus Seminar 2026 on Topological Matter.

Many thanks to the organizers! @nbm_schroeter and @Gvamvim

[Miguel M. Ugeda @m_ugeda]

Ever wondered what STM is really imaging in TMD materials?

Our new paper in @NaturePhysics shows that the answer is tied to band topology, and in particular to the existence of obstructed atomic bands:
