Future technologies ranging from information technology to high-temperature superconductivity require new materials with tailored electronic properties. A novel quantum simulator consisting of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice functions as a construction kit with which scientists can create and investigate new materials. Physicists from Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Universities of Mainz and Cologne have now succeeded in demonstrating one of the most dramatic electronic phenomena with the aid of this experimental setup. The high-impact journal "Science" reports on this in its latest issue.
