This is a super weirdly sensationalist article. It's far too popsci to be a good read for physicists, while being far to science-jargony to be accessible to laymen.

Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics and the Sherman Fairchild University Professor of Physics at Princeton becomes F. Duncan Haldane, a Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton It would vastly increase the readability of some of these things.
