Topological matter refers to systems in which topology is required for their characterisation. This includes materials with topological defects such as skyrmions, or topologically-protected edge ...

These three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016 for their groundbreaking work on topological phase transitions and the discovery of topological phases of matter. Since then, ...

Condensed matter physics has fast become the largest discipline within physics. Based on an established course, this comprehensive textbook covers one-body, many-body and topological perspectives. It ...

Topological insulators are materials that are ... pointing to the important entangled light-matter dynamics. The authors numerically and experimentally investigate the transport properties of ...

rubber and other "soft" matter to degenerate atomic gases, superconductors, quantum Hall and other topological quantum systems. The unifying theme is the collective universal behavior that emerges at ...

As the electrons slow almost to a halt, their effective mass approaches infinity, leading to exotic topological phenomena as well as strongly correlated states of matter associated with ...

The future storage and processing of data stand to benefit greatly from tiny magnetic whirlpools known as skyrmions, which ...

Topological defects are unique compact structures in space that have a high density of matter. Such defects likely first ...
