Recorded summary

The authors assembled a molecular diatomic kagome lattice and observed electronic states along its zigzag edges. Microscopy and calculations connect these states to the lattice's electronic structure and topology.

Recorded limitations

This is a quantum-materials result, not a demonstration of a longer-lived qubit or an error-correcting computer. It provides an example of geometry changing electronic behaviour, without establishing a Fibonacci mechanism.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
