Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science ...

The non-chiral kagome lattice (corner-sharing triangles) basis of the topological material KV3Sb5 is found to develop subtle electronic chirality near the surface which shows distinct electromagnetic ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In 2016, three researchers from Brown, Princeton, and the University of Washington received the Nobel Prize of Physics for their theoretical ...

Plutonium is one of the most complex elements in the periodic table. First synthesized and isolated in 1940 by scientists at ...

Artistic illustration of a topological exciton insulator: Excitons condense in the bulk of the material, forming a collective insulating phase, while topologically protected edge modes propagate ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at AMOLF, in collaboration with partners from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, have realized a new type of metamaterial through which sound waves flow in an unprecedented ...
