Topological crystals are a revolutionary class of materials that exhibit unique electronic and physical properties due to their non-trivial topological band structures. These materials have garnered ...

Ferroelectrics at the nanoscale exhibit a wealth of polar and sometimes swirling (chiral) electromagnetic textures that not only represent fascinating physics, but also promise applications in future ...

Plutonium is one of the most complex elements in the periodic table. First synthesized and isolated in 1940 by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, plutonium has been studied closely ...

On the left, the schematic illustration depicts the gluing rules of the Brillouin manifold, with a half-twist operation connecting the opposing faces. On the right, the BZ is divided into 64 blocks by ...

Researchers have successfully simulated higher-order topological (HOT) lattices with unprecedented accuracy using digital quantum computers. These complex lattice structures can help us understand ...

Researchers have succeeded in detecting exceptionally robust electrical transport in a topological insulator. This could lead to new metrological applications. (Nanowerk News) Metrology is the science ...

When I explain topology to students, I start with a knot in a rope. You can stretch it, twist it or shake it, but the knot ...
