Strong correlations and orbital texture in single-layer 1T-TaSe2
by Yi Chen
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 January 2020; doi:10.1038/s41567-019-0744-9
The electrons that contribute to the Mott insulator state in single-layer 1T-TaSe2 are shown to also have a rich variation in their orbital occupation. As more layers are added, both the insulating state and orbital texture weaken.

Robust axion insulator and Chern insulator phases in a two-dimensional antiferromagnetic topological insulator
by Chang Liu
Nature Materials, Published online: 06 January 2020; doi:10.1038/s41563-019-0573-3
A large longitudinal resistance and zero Hall plateau—hallmarks of an axion insulator—are found in MnBi2Te4. Moreover, a moderate magnetic field drives a quantum phase transition to a Chern insulator phase with zero longitudinal resistance and quantized Hall resistance h/e2.

Proton-assisted growth of ultra-flat graphene films
by Guowen Yuan
Nature, Published online: 08 January 2020; doi:10.1038/s41586-019-1870-3
A growth process in which protons decouple graphene from the underlying substrate greatly reduces the number of wrinkles that usually degrade large graphene films grown by chemical vapour deposition.
