Welcome to the Wang Lab at the University of Bristol!

Here we specialize in visualizing novel quantum states of matter through beyond state-of-the-art experimental techniques. Our primary focus is on implementing new scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques. We are interested in strongly correlated electron systems, quantum criticality and topological states of matter. We are investigating topological superconductivity, high-temperature superconductivity and topological phases.   Read more about our research →
