In article number 2000001, Yiqi Zhang and co-workers have established a hexagon-shaped domain wall consisting of alternating deep and shallow sites in a honeycomb lattice, along which edge states arise due to the valley Hall effect. By introducing gain into the deep sites, lasing from a topologically protected edge state emerges and gradually spawns the whole domain wall after nonlinear competition.
