(Nanowerk News) Topological quantum materials are hailed as a cornerstone of future technological advancements. Yet, validating their exceptional qualities has always been a lengthy business. However, ...

Topology, which is a branch of mathematics, is rising as a universal notion in physics, from condensed matter physics to classical wave systems. Topology has been received particularly warmly in ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the University of Twente proved that germanene, a two-dimensional material made of germanium atoms, behaves as a topological insulator. It is the first 2D topological ...

Physicists have discovered a room-temperature transition between 1D and 2D electrical conduction states in the topological insulator bismuth iodide. A Rice University team and its collaborators have ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The field of topology or the study of how surfaces behave in different dimensions has profoundly influenced the current understanding of matter. The prime example is the ...

Urbana, IL -- Fundamental research in condensed matter physics has driven tremendous advances in modern electronic capabilities. Transistors, optical fiber, LEDs, magnetic storage media, plasma ...

Researchers at East China Normal University in Shanghai have found the first evidence for electronic band gap closing in a family of layered materials known as three-dimensional topological insulators ...

Physicists have confirmed the topological origins of magnons, magnetic features they discovered three years ago in a 2D material that could prove useful for spintronics. Rice physicists have confirmed ...

A supportive “mattress” of material has made it possible to grow nanoribbons of a previously hard-to-synthesize topological insulator. The technique, which is based on conventional chemical vapour ...
