Indeed, they found that when they synthesized a new crystal with a slightly different combination of elements, in the same kagome-like 3D geometry, the crystal's electrons exhibited a flat band ...

They used a 3D kagome-shaped lattice, which is used in the traditional Japanese art of basket weaving. Similar 2D lattices already demonstrated flat band electrons so the team felt this was a way ...
