Physicists from University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University (Finland) have experimentally realized a two-dimensional ...

Light conducts around the edge of a simulated topological insulator, shown at the bottom of image. The topological insulator is made from a layer of a 2-D material resting atop a photonic crystal. The ...

Physicists at the University of Cologne have taken an important step forward in the pursuit of topological quantum computing ...

(Nanowerk News) Topological insulators raise the exciting the hope of realising lossless energy transport, which is true at ultralow temperatures. However, topological insulators fail to maintain this ...

Just like a book can't be judged by its cover, a material can't always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface ...

An international team working with single-atom thick crystals found TaIrTe4's transition between the two distinct topological states of insulation and conduction. The material exhibited zero ...

(Nanowerk News) A joint research team has unveiled a new topological insulator (TI), a unique state of matter that differs from conventional metals, insulators, and semiconductors. Unlike most known ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern physics, the concept of topological textures has emerged as a powerful tool for revolutionizing information technologies. Traditionally confined to ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have made unexpected progress toward developing a new optical memory that can quickly and energy-efficiently store and ...

Topological insulators are materials that behave as insulators in their interior but support the flow of electrons along their edges or surfaces. These edge states are protected against weak disorder, ...
