Congrats to Han for his newest paper published in Nat. Comm.: Reversible non-volatile electronic switching in a near-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet, where he discovered a tunable vacancy order that can be switched on and off to change the electronic topology by changing the global crystal symmetry. This was a work that was immensely satisfying to someone who enjoys puzzles and escape rooms, as solving the puzzle required piecing the clues together from more than half a dozen experimental techniques and theory analyses, not possible without collaborations with all of our co-authors who were willing to use their expertise to help solve this interesting puzzle. This is a fun material to dig into, and stay tuned for more to come!
