At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

The discovery was achieved by researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria, who worked together with ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Topological phases are at the heart of many advances in photonics and materials science. In a recent eLight paper, ...

Scientists are urged to reconsider misleading signals in topological physics, addressing the 'smoking gun' problem in ...

Topological interlocking materials and structures represent an innovative design approach in which individual, often geometrically complex, elements are arranged to mutually constrain one another.

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown quantum state of matter that could reshape the future of computing, sensing, ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed. This idea, called chirality or ...

(Nanowerk News) For the first time, U.S. and European physicists have found a way to switch the topological state of a quantum material on and off. Because they are extremely stable and have immutable ...
