Professor Yoshinori Tokura of the Graduate School of Engineering (also Center Director of the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science) typically begins his undergraduate lectures in solid-state ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected new state of matter in which topological properties emerge even though ...

The toroidal dipole is a localized electromagnetic excitation, distinct from the magnetic and electric dipoles. While the electric dipole can be understood as a pair of opposite charges and the ...

Why do 2D exciton-polaritons interact? This intriguing quasiparticle, which is part light (photon), and part matter (exciton), doesn't behave as predicted: continuing to interact with other particles ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...
