Atomically precise fabrication through the controlled reactivity and placement of chemical species was one of the goals defined within the earliest visions of nanotechnology. A first example of this, the controlled abstraction of a hydrogen atom from a passivated Si(100) surface through subtractive mechanosynthesis using a novel molecule (EAOGe-C2I) and inverted-mode scanning tunneling...

The de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect has long been regarded as a definitive signature of a metal, because the theory is formulated in terms of the emptying of quantized Landau levels as they pass through the Fermi surface. In this picture, there should be no oscillatory magnetization in an insulator because there is no Fermi surface for the Landau levels to cross. Thus, the observation of dHvA...

While great progress has been made over the years to understand the physics of gapped spin liquids, their unambiguous experimental detection has remained difficult. This situation led to the development of several proposals to identify such topologically ordered states. One particularly interesting approach suggests using pump-probe spectroscopy to detect the non-trivial braiding statistics of...
