The Chern number, an invariant quantity that characterizes topological phases in physical systems, was recently tuned in a controlled fashion by researchers from Tokyo Tech. They achieved this feat in ...

In topological materials, electrons can display behavior that is fundamentally different from that in 'conventional' matter, and the magnitude of many such 'exotic' phenomena is directly proportional ...

Quantum Hall effect (QHE) is one of the most important discoveries in physical sciences. Due to the one-dimensional (1D) dissipationless edge states, QHE exhibits exotic transport properties with ...

Topology, a branch of mathematics classifying geometric objects, has been exploited by physicists to predict and describe unusual quantum phases: the topological states of matter. These intriguing ...
