In condensed matter physics as well as in photonics, systems which exhibit topological behaviour are widely studied. Using the theory of topology on materials, topological photonics look at the study ...

Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have uncovered the first evidence of an unusual quantum phenomenon--the integer quantum Hall effect--in a new type of film, ...

As computer chips continue to get smaller and more complex, the ultrathin metallic wires that carry electrical signals within these chips have become a weak link. Standard metal wires get worse at ...

A technical paper titled “Controllable strain-driven topological phase transition and dominant surface-state transport in HfTe 5 ” was published by researchers at University of California Irvine, Los ...

Current copper wiring in computer chips struggles to carry electricity efficiently as circuits shrink to the nanoscale, leading to a process that generates heat and limits performance. These materials ...

Topological insulators are an emerging class of materials that act as both insulators and conductors, and could potentially be used in smartphones, computers and other electronic devices. A research ...

Using Altium Designer to deal with noise in PCBs. Applying pre-topological analysis for noise immunity and performing post-topological analysis. How to evaluate the level of crosstalk. Setting the ...
