The star-like "kagome" structure of the molecules in this 2D metal-organic material (shown in an STM image on the left and a non-contact AFM image on the right) produces strong electronic interactions. (Courtesy: FLEET)
Strong interactions between electrons can cause local magnetic moments to emerge in two-dimensional
