Following the discovery of a new family of kagome prototypical materials with structure AV(3)Sb(5) ( A = K, Rb, and Cs), there has been a heightened interest in studying the correlation-driven electronic phenomena in these kagome lattice systems. The study of these materials has gone beyond magneto-transport measurements to reveal exciting features such as Dirac bands, anomalous Hall effect, bulk superconductivity with T-c similar to 0.9 - 2.5 K, and the observation of charge density wave instabilities, suggesting an intertwining of topological physics and new quantum orders. Moreover, very recent works on numerous types of experiments have appeared further examining the unconventional superconductivity and the exotic electronic states found within these kagome materials. Theories on the strong interactions that play a role in these systems have been proposed to shed light on the nature of these topological charge density waves. In this brief review, we summarize these recent experimental findings and theoretical proposals and envision the materials as new platforms to study the interplay between topological physics and strongly correlated electronic systems.
