Title: Quantum Twisting Microscopy of Moiré Flat Bands: A Theoretical Perspective
Abstract: Moiré materials with tunable flat bands provide an exceptional platform for realizing strongly correlated and topological phases. Achieving a detailed understanding of their electronic structure, however, remains a major challenge. The recently developed quantum twisting microscope introduces a new tunneling probe for van der Waals materials. In this talk, I will present a theoretical framework for both elastic and inelastic tunneling spectroscopy of moiré flat bands using the quantum twisting microscope. I will discuss how this technique can enable momentum-resolved measurements of electronic spectral functions, neutral collective excitations and superconducting gap structures in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

Finding belonging and building legacy: UK celebrates first-generation Wildcats
By Ryan Girves
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 17, 2025) — When first-generation college students arrive at the University of Kentucky, they carry with them more than backpacks and class schedules. They bring the hopes of families, the weight of new beginnings and the courage to step into new spaces.
