TL;DR: The electronic band gap and dispersion of the occupied electronic bands of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons fabricated via on-surface synthesis are reported on and are in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions that include image charge corrections accounting for screening by the metal substrate and confirm the importance of electron-electron interactions in graphene nan oribbons.

TL;DR: It is shown that TaP is a Weyl semimetal with only a single type of Weyl fermions, topologically distinguished from TaAs where two types of Weylefermions contribute to the low-energy physical properties.

TL;DR: The synthesis of an armchair graphene nanoribbon with a width of nine carbon atoms on Au(111) through surface-assisted aryl-aryl coupling and subsequent cyclodehydrogenation of a properly chosen molecular precursor is reported.

TL;DR: The prototypical two-dimensional electron liquid at the SrTiO3(001) surface is used to reveal a remarkably complex evolution of electron-phonon coupling with the tunable carrier density of this system, and constraints on the theoretical description of superconductivity are placed.

TL;DR: These results provide strong evidence that SmB6 can host topological surface states in a bulk insulating gap stemming from the Kondo effect, which can serve as an ideal platform for investigating of the interplay between novel topological quantum states with emergent effects and competing orders induced by strongly correlated electrons.
