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 ...
Our research group fabricates and studies colloidal particles with different numbers of handles and genus g. When introduced into a nematic liquid crystal, these particles induce three-dimensional ...
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 ...
