📢 From semiclassical scaling to quantum breakdown, our analytic formula matches the Lifshitz metal-insulator transition in MoTe2/WSe2 experiments and predicts a universal critical resistance RL=2pi h/e^2.

Impact of electronic correlations on the superconductivity of high-pressure CeH9 Rare-earth superhydrides have attracted considerable attention because of their high critical superconducting temperature under extreme pressures. They are known to have localized valence electrons, i...

📢 We show that electronic correlations in CeH9 nearly double the predicted superconducting Tc from 47K to 96K, matching experiment. A leap towards accurate modeling of correlated (conventional) #superconductors!

Lifshitz metal-insulator transition in a moiré bilayer as seen in the scaled resistance R(T)

📢 New #arXiv: The conductance at Lifshitz metal-insulator transitions in 2D is *universal*: e^2/(2pi h).

I'm afraid I see where this is going...

Actually, in our profession, the inverse statement is good advice, too. :-)
