When Diracula gets rotten teeth 🎃 Van Hove singularities appear – read in our new paper, how to engineer sharper teeth through higher order Van Hove singularities. Congratulations to Kong, Vlad, Evgenia, Becca, and Siri for winning the Halloween pumpkin competition of the School!
Admittedly, the analogy has its flaws as it is blunter teeth in k-space that result in sharper Van Hove singularities …
