One of the biggest headaches in quantum computing is errors. Qubits are super fragile, and any little disturbance from the ...

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 ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized. The work is published ...

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 ...

The first materials scientists might have been early humans who—through trial-and-error experiments—discovered the first "cutting-edge" technologies. They found ...

Researchers at the Würzburg site of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat have succeeded in transferring the topological quantum ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Topological materials, including what are known as semimetals, could unlock a new era of electronics, but scientists are still ...
