In analogy with quantum Hall systems, it may be possible to find non-abelian anyons in the higher bands of Chern insulators. Now, the phase diagram of the second moiré band of twisted MoTe2 is explored, laying the groundwork for such investigations.

- Twisted path to Landau levelsNature Physics, Published online: 20 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02837-5 Two studies reveal that twisted MoTe2 hosts multiple topological flat bands, mimicking Landau levels without a magnetic field. These topological correlated states may enable non-Abelian excitations and advances in quantum computation.

- A metallic room-temperature d-wave altermagnetNature Physics, Published online: 18 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02822-y Metallic altermagnets are promising for applications due to the spin-polarized electric current that originates from their spin-split band structure. Now d-wave altermagnetism with antisymmetric spin polarization has been demonstrated in KV2Se2O.
- Detection of fractional quantum Hall states by entropy-sensitive measurementsNature Physics, Published online: 17 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02813-z Fractional quantum Hall states can be fragile, meaning that they are difficult to probe using electrical transport measurements. Now, thermal transport is shown to be a more sensitive technique for investigating these states.
