I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

Phase transitions in "conventional" materials – such as water turning into ice or a metal becoming magnetised – and topological phase transitions have long been treated as fundamentally distinct, ...

The candidate pool for engineered materials that can help enable tomorrow's cutting-edge optical technologies—such as lasers, detectors and imaging devices—is much deeper than previously believed.

Scanning-tunnelling microscope with a superconducting tip could help uncover materials for next-generation quantum computers ...

Cities like Birmingham should look at the robotic waste collection services already operating in parts of Europe and North ...

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 ...

Once you reach a certain scale, some tasks simply can't be handled manually, says ThredUp's chief product and technology officer.

Amazon's TYS1 center in Alcoa operates 24/7, processing up to 650,000 packages daily with help from robotics to pick, pack ...

A ‘topoconductor’ is a brand-new type of material that Microsoft created. It helps keep the quantum information safe from ...

In this paper we propose a concept of intrusion detection system with the specific implementation of topological sorting methods. We also explain the mathematical background of topological sorting and ...
