The field of colloidal synthesis of semiconductors emerged 40 years ago and has reached a
certain level of maturity thanks to the use of nanocrystals as phosphors in commercial …

The physics of quantum materials is dictated by many-body interactions and mathematical
concepts such as symmetry and topology that have transformed our understanding of matter …

The combination of nontrivial band topology and symmetry-breaking phases gives rise to
novel quantum states and phenomena such as topological superconductivity, quantum …

Excitonic insulators (EIs) arise from the formation of bound electron–hole pairs (excitons), in
semiconductors and provide a solid-state platform for quantum many-boson physics …

A Bose–Einstein condensate is the ground state of a dilute gas of bosons, such as atoms
cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. With much smaller mass, excitons (bound …

We present evidence that the two-dimensional bulk of monolayer WTe2 contains electrons
and holes bound by Coulomb attraction—excitons—that spontaneously form in thermal …

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), with its exceptional sensitivity to both
the binding energy and the momentum of valence electrons in solids, provides unparalleled …

Since the isolation of graphene in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials research has
rapidly evolved into an entire subdiscipline in the physical sciences with a wide range of …

The interplay between topology and correlations can generate a variety of quantum phases,
many of which remain to be explored. Recent advances have identified monolayer WTe2 as …

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have strong Coulomb-mediated many-body
interactions. Theoretical studies have predicted the existence of numerous multi-particle …
