Creating these materials demands a deep understanding of atomic-level behavior, an area that is still far from fully understood. Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), working with colleagues at the University of Salerno and the CNR-SPIN Institute (Italy), have now made a significant advance by identifying a hidden form of geometry that was previously only predicted by theory. This geometry alters the paths followed by electrons in a way that resembles how gravity curves the path of light. Their findings, published in Science, point to new possibilities for quantum electronics.

I'm confused by the analogy made with gravity. Based on my limited experience, I mostly see quantum geometry as a mathematical construct to describe the electrons wave function, so it would be nice to get a more intuitive understanding of it. Leaving this comment so i get back to it later.
