Quantum Materials In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202513054), Alessandro R. Mazza, Matthew Brahlek, and co-workers show how atomic step edges take control of the growth of 2D materials. Stepped surfaces guide how the topological material Bi2Se3 grows by molecular beam epitaxy, suppressing defects and unlocking new material motifs that can transform quantum materials from the ground up.
