Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are a versatile platform for modelling simplified physical systems. By tuning structural deformations in bipartite optical lattices, Di Liberto et al. induce superfluid-to-Mott-insulator phase transitions that may shed light on condensed-matter systems such as the cuprates.
