This illustration depicts a herringbone-like pattern in the atomic lattice of a quantum material created by researchers at SLAC and Stanford.
![An illustration of a dramatic, herringbone-like pattern in the atomic lattice of a newly created quantum material. Against a black background, calcium atoms are seen as light blue spheres, cobalt atoms in dark blue and oxygen atoms in red. Lines connecting the oxygen atoms represent the atomic lattice.](/sites/default/files/styles/card/public/2023-02/distorted_quantum_material_la_final.jpg?h=be2f56fa&itok=Nq1RGmpV)
