Magnetic Weyl semimetals (WSMs)—materials that host exotic quasiparticles called fermions—must break either spatial inversion or time-reversal symmetry. A number of WSMs symmetry have been identified, but showing unambiguously a material is time-reversal-breaking WSM tricky. Three groups now provide spectroscopic evidence for this latter state in magnetic materials (see the Perspective by da Silva Neto). Belopolski et al. probed Co 2 MnGa using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy,...
Superconductors with kagome lattices have been identified for over 40 years, a superconducting transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ up to 7 K. Recently, certain superconductors found exhibit an exotic charge order, which intertwines superconductivity and persists being one order of magnitude higher than ${T}_{c}$. In this work, we use scanning tunneling microscopy study the in superconductor $\mathrm{Rb}{\mathrm{V}}_{3}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{5}$. We observe both $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$...

Transition metal dichalcogenides are a family of quasi-two-dimensional materials that display high technological potential due to their wide range electronic ground states, e.g., from superconducting semiconducting, depending on the chemical composition, crystal structure, or electrostatic doping. Here, we unveil by tuning single parameter, hydrostatic pressure P, cascade phase transitions can be induced in few-layer transition dichalcogenide 1T'-WS2, including superconducting, topological,...
On the kagome lattice, electrons benefit from simultaneous presence of band topology, flat electronic bands, and van Hove singularities, forming competing or cooperating orders. Understanding interrelation between these distinct order parameters remains a significant challenge, leaving much associated physics unexplored. In superconductor KV3Sb5, which exhibits charge density wave (CDW) state below T = 78 K, we uncover an unpredicted field-induced phase transition 6 K. The observed is marked...

Three types of fermions have been extensively studied in topological quantum materials: Dirac, Weyl, and Majorana fermions. Beyond the fundamental high energy physics, exotic are allowed condensed matter systems residing three-, six- or eightfold degenerate band crossings.
