Topology originated from the classification of geometric structures in mathematics, and have prevailed in a variety of branches of physics, ranging from the early electronic topological insulator to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have sought to leverage atomic defects to enhance electrocatalytic performance for clean energy applications. However, the inability to precisely study defects' ...

Emergence of anti-hyperuniform defect organization in active nematics. At high activity (left), topological defects are distributed nearly uniformly throughout the system. Reducing activity toward a ...
