Scientific Achievement: The origin of the charge density wave in a kagome metal was linked to the rattling motion of atom chains by controlling its associated structural distortion through chemical and physical tuning.
Significance and Impact: Understanding the origin of ubiquitous charge density waves in kagome metals enables rational tuning of their ground states and unusual electronic and magnetic properties.
