Twisted double bilayer graphene hosts flat bands that can be tuned with an electric field. Here, by using gate-tuned scanning tunneling spectroscopy, the authors demonstrate the tunability of the flat band and reveal spectral signatures of correlated electron states and the topological nature of the flat band.
