In this talk, I discuss our recent results on the first intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator, Mn(Bi,Sb)<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>4</sub>. In this Van der Waals material, we can control the magnetic state through chemical substitution, as well as through the application of a magnetic field. These knobs allow us to effect the topology of the band structure and thus the transport. We apply a number of probes, including transport, susceptibility, neutron scattering, ARPES, and TEM to determine the physics of this exciting material [1,2]. In particular, we discuss how recent neutron measurements shed new light on the anomolous transport in this material.<br/><br/>[1] "Spin Scattering and noncollinear spin-structure induced intrinsic anomalous Hall Effect in antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnnBi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>4</sub>, Seng Huat Lee et al, Phys.
